My condolences to Ernie and his family.
His mom no doubt had an incredible life and she gave us an incredible son.

Condolences to Ernie and family from me as well.
That’s a good long life… age 97… and I’m sure she lived it well. Ernie was blessed with so many things, but to have his mother in his life until he turned 78, that’s pretty special.

My heart goes out to the Banks family
97 is a good life, but that does not make it easier.

Now mama Banks and Harry Carey can together and root on the Cubs...
Our prayers are with you Ernie.
