Special Remarks from Ercell and Family:

I personally feel so lost and sad that she has gone on ahead. I know that she is in a better place but it is still so darn hard being without her. Knowing I will meet up with her again in heaven is my only saving grace!  Not ever hearing her sing will leave an emptiness in me that I will feel forever.  Her singing always made me tear up. I just couldn't believe that I could be married to someone that could sing like that.  I just never got used to it.  I hope I can stop crying long enough to thank you all for being there for her and me. I know she loved you all! - Ercell
