A Letter from Ernie’s Family

We would like to let everyone know that Ernie is still very critical but by the wonderful power of God, he will survive this tragic accident!

The doctors are saying that the prognosis is looking better each day. His lungs have improved and that a lot of the swelling has gone down. He now has started taking kidney dialysis but the doctors feel that it is only temporary!

There is a trust fund available for him -

The Ernie Thacker Fund
ATTN. Theda Viers at New Peoples Bank
P.O Box 1053
Grundy, Va. 24614.

Any donations would greatly be appreciated!

We would like to express our appreciation to everyone that has called, prayed, and sent donations! We can’t thank you enough.

We Love You All!

Love, The Family of Ernie Thacker
