Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I have been working at Spring Arbor for almost a year now and it was a pleasure to know and care for Ms. Ernestine. She was a wonderful lady heart

  2. I enjoyed getting to know Ernestine when she and I were in WMU at First Baptist. She always had such a sweet spirit and was a very classy lady. I remember her keeping her nativity scene displayed year-round in her family room. It is amazing the things you remember about a person.

  3. Very sorry for your loss Harry. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Melissa, and all family members. J. Buckley Strandberg
