Earnie was my second stepfather. Earnie was a very hard working, talented, creative man who LOVED fishing. He could do anything he set his mind to. I always appreciated his love of nature and animals, and his tenacity and hard work. He and my mom had many adventures together that I’m sure she will cherish. I hope to see Earnie again one day, but as God intended. I imagine him happy and healthy, and with his eyes filled with a light that only the Holy Spirit could give him. I imagine him closing his eyes in this world, and opening them to see his Heavenly Father with arms outstretched, ready to embrace him. Safe in the arms of Jesus. I hope to hug him one day, as we join together with Jesus and all of our loved ones in the clouds to go to our forever home where there will be no more suffering.
