Please keep Ernie and his family in your thoughts and prayers! Many of you may know Ernie as the guy who installs flooring in our coaches - he has been around this group and others for a long time and is a wonderful, kind, caring person.
From the Lone Star Birds group:
While Ernie and Brenda were visiting family in Lubbock, Ernie experienced a heart attack at 4 am on Saturday morning, November 30. Ernie is now convalescing in the Lubbock Methodist hospital after surgery to replace the valves in his heart. Latest information is that he is doing well and is already getting some limited amount of exercise. Let's pray for Ernie and Brenda during this stressful time.
Regards, Eric Johnson

Ernie is a very nice person, in addition to being a skilled craftsman. I have had the pleasure of meeting Ernie and pray for complete healing.

Ernie loved the challenge presented with the drop down floor associated with our front slide. His craftsmanship was amazing, and beyond what Newell does even in their new coaches. It was very difficult to find the seam in the floor when it was up. We will be praying for a speedy and full miraculous recovery!
