There are several things that are unbelievable in that article. 1) that a funeral now a days cost $35,000. 2) That the caregiver would have any authority over the wife. 3) That Ernie was only worth $16,000. Somebody had to be robbing him blind. I know he didn't make millions while playing, but he had to be worth more than $16 friggin thounsand. It's just sad.
