Opa Ernie

The world just lost a giant of a man.  A one of a kind husband, dad, grandpa, uncle, and friend.  He had three loves in this world...Jesus, his family (and soul mate Cindy), and farming.  Ernie Hiesterman left this world to meet Jesus last night.  Savannah and Kaden met him at the gates and they are together at last. Grandpa Ernie is wrestling with his two grand kids in heaven and is no longer suffering.  I have no words.  I know Ernie is in heaven.  Do we need to know anything else?  Our family appreciates the outpouring of love we have received from friends and the community.  Please keep us in your prayers. ~ Lydia
