Ernie and family: Heart felt sympathy goes without saying. May you find comfort in knowing the memories each of you have stored up , will never fade away. The body may be absent but the memories will last a life time and will never fade away.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. May you and your family gain comfort from the words at Revelation 21:3, 4. “The tent of God is with mankind. . . And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Hello my name is Barbara, l am one of Jehovah's Witnesses I am so sorry to read about the loss of your love Hello. Death is a very sad and hard time , Jesus felt the same way that's why he resurrected Lazarus back to the earth. Please read John 5 :28,29, here it speaks about the time when we will see our dead love ones again right here on earth.

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of Ernest! This is a very sad and painful time. Please take comfort in God’s promise to put an end to death and the pain it causes (Isa. 25:8) and to bring our loved ones who have died back to life. I hope these promises will give you a measure of comfort now and in the days and weeks to come. If you’d like to know more, please visit the JW.org website.

The Emerson-Benjamin family left a message on March 29, 2019:
There are no words that can explain the sorrow and pain we feel for your family at this time. While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Ernest has left us at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been. There are no right words at this time. We send you our love and heartfelt prayers that you may find the strength you need to get through each day knowing that we are thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember him. We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family.

Our Heavenly Father picked a beautiful rose, when he called you home EJ. You are gone, but you will never be forgotten. John 3:16 is the Scripture that will always be our remembrance of you. Your loving and respectful life, truly made a lasting statement.
Kimberly Forte-Harris left a message on March 26, 2019:
It's so hard for me to accept the reality that you're gone. The fact that I won't hear your voice again, or see your dimples when you smile breaks my heart. You were so loved. Death may have taken you away from me, but it could NEVER take away the memories and love that I have for you. You can rest now, E.J! I am sure you already know that I will always look after and make sure your Dad is okay! I love you, cousin!

I didn't know this young man but I know his father...be strong Ernie...Joseph is now watching over you... For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
