Ernest worked with my husband and I at Walmart ! He was such an amazing young man! He was respectful and full of energy! We will miss that smile !!! Continuing to pray for family! Ron and Debbie Butler
I did not know this young man but I had the pleasure to coach his father and uncle at Lamar County. They were players my sons looked up too. We shared many happy times and cried together when their high school games came to an end at cook county. They were two of the finest young men I ever coached. Their father and mother and younger brother represent some of the very best among us. My heart is breaking for them all.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointet my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever. Amen
These are the times when our strength is gone, our hope is lost, and our grief is overwhelming. Now is when God pours out his grace that passes all understanding and he carries us as we carried our children when they were young. I pray you find his grace, and know it is sufficient to strengthen you no matter what may come.
I love you all and pray for you in your time of grief. Thank you and your family for being a part of my life.
Coach Henry Lester
