May the memories be with you as you gaze into one another and see your dad through each other. I’m saddened to hear about your loss. May the God of peace and comfort be with you all. All the tree of the fields will clap their hands as he went out with joy...♥️

Our deepest sympathies to all of you! As a child, I have the fondest memories of our families spending time together lduring holidays...mom would announce that you were coming to Chilliwack and I would literally wait at the window to watch for your arrival! And I was always sad to see you leave. Uncle Ernie would entered a room with warmth and enthusiasm. I always felt special. Important. In later years, Reini and our boys had the privilege of spending time with Uncle Ernie and Aunt Susan. He always had a hug, a joke (okay, maybe lots of jokes!) and always time to visit and take interest in the events of our lives. Aunt Susan would even jump on the trampoline with our kids - so young at heart! Both of them!! We’ll miss Uncle Ernie, that smile, those jokes and most of all his warmth and kindness. We’re thankful for so many fond memories!! Tables have turned. We’re still sad to say goodbye, but now Uncle Ernie waits with excitement for our arrival. Until we meet again!!!

So sad to learn of Uncle Ernie's passing but happy for him to be reunited with Nell, Helen, Hank, and Anne as well as his mom and dad (grandpa and grandpa Goerzen). I loved Uncle Ernie a lot and always enjoyed his big happy smiles, his corny jokes (so much fun) and the endless love I felt whenever he was around. Love and best wishes to Aunt Susan and family in this time of loss.
