I was so saddened to learn of Ernestine's untimely death. It was always such a joy to see her and sing with her. She will certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this most difficult time.
So sorry to hear of Ernestine's passing. She will be greatly missed by all of the Sacred Harp singing family as I am sure she will be for you her natural family. May God comfort and keep you at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gary & Vivian Rogan
Miss Ernestine was one of the pillars of our Sacred Harp community in Northwest Florida/ Southeast Alabama. If there was a sing she would be there singing Treble. She sang from the heart and knew most of the songs from memory. I particularly enjoyed seeing her with her siblings. Their love for each other is wonderful. We will miss you Ernestine.
We remember Ernestine as a faithful treble singer and a regular attendee wherever there is a Sacred Harp Sing. She was among the first South Alabamans to visit and sing with us in Hoboken. We will always remember her.
May God bless this precious family. I am so glad that I was blessed to sing with Mrs. Ernestine. She will be missed. Love always, Regina Grayson Greenville, Alabama
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have know Ernestine most of my life thru Sacred Harp singing. She was a wonderful lady with a warm smile,she will be greatly missed by so many. I am sure she is now singing in heaven with all the others who have gone before.
I dearly loves Ms Ernestine and I am truly going to miss her. I remember one time back in 86 I thank it was I saw Ms Ernestine and Bro Pipkin and me and her had the sweetest visit and seen her other times since then. We are going to miss her a whole bunch. I am orginally from Ga but live in Arkansas now. Love, Syd Caldwell
I have many wonderful memories of Miss Ernestine, all from our shared love of Sacred Harp singing. She'll be missed greatly, but my mind's eye will continue to see her, sitting there across the hollow square, singing joyfully.
