I feel your loss and grieve with you. Remember all you did with him and said to. Him. Forget what was left unsaid because now he knows. What was left undone has little importence now. Remember the joyful times, they will enrich you. Remember the loving words the will comfort you.
You were a Great man Uncle Ernie, I always looked up to you for what you had made yourself into. You were Wise, Funny, Caring and Inserational. You will be Missed and you were and are Loved.
Our deepest sympathy go out to you and your family. May God give you peace and comfort, and may my prayers ease the pain of your loss.
So sorry . My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember when he was putting an addition onto his home!
He was so excited about his brick design for the fireplace!!

To the family I’m so sorry for your loss. Ernie my mom and dad would talk about what a great guy you were they always talked about all the work you did with them at St Patrick’s I hate to think is no longer around like so many from the parish. It’s tough loosing a parent this close to Christmas I know my mom is gone three years this month but I know your family is strong and will one day move on. Your family are all in my prayers so God bless. Mary Jane
So sorry for your Heartache at this time, may your memories help soothe you and Gods Peace. Mr. Mascarello was a Good if Not Best friend of my fathers, I remember the Bingo days and St. Patrick’s day Parties that they were involved in at St. Patricks’ Parish. A man who always had a smile for me.
Uncle Ernie was such a sweet man! I wish I could be at the funeral, but I send my love. He will be missed dearly.
Ernie will be a forever part of the Bethlehem House family. His contributions of his time & talents will remain an impact with every Bethlehem House mom, baby and staff. Ernie always took time with each of us and left our home with a smile and thankfulness. We will miss him so very much!
Gina Tomes and the Bethlehem House staff
