Dear McBride Family, Our condolences to you all on the passing of Uncle Ernest. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Uncle Ernest was so good to all of us whenever we would visit. He was a great story-teller and a knowledgeable historian. Generous with both his time and knowledge sharing it with us all. We hold wonderful memories of travels around Ireland with Ernest! Please know that we are thinking of you and sending our love and support. May the memories you hold dear bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy, The Roberts and Stewart families 🙏
