Ernie and Family: I was so sorry to hear that you lost your dad this week. Please know that my thoughts and sympathy are with you and your mom and family. We missed you at school and then found out why you weren’t there. That is so sad and I feel bad for all of you. You take care now, Ernie. Judy Shumaker – High School Cafeteria
