Brenda, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Vernon was such a good to friend to Bill. He was always checking on him and seeing he got to breakfast if he needed a ride. The breakfast “round table” will not be the same. You’re in my prayers.

I worked with Vernon. He always made me laugh, sometime not on purpose. I really enjoyed working with him. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Pam and Family:
I am truly sorry to hear about Vernon’s passing.
I know your hearts feel extremely heavy right now, but stay strong in your faith and remember that God makes no mistakes. He obviously wanted or needed Vernon for something far more special. I am praying for all of you.
With much love!!!
