We send our deepest thoughts and prayers to the family. For nearly 50 years we have been a block family and we all grew up together, As we all moved along in our different paths, the one constant was we knew when we visited the old block that Ms. Earnestine would be sitting on her porch smiling and waving and willing to take a minute to talk to us all. She will be missed but never forgotten. We send our deepest sympathy (Gip, Pauline, Kevin and Dwayne)
