My deepest sympathies to Rose, Stephany and all of his family.
Vernon was a stand-up kind of guy that you could always count on, both professionally and personally. Whether it was electrical work or just some personal advice, Vernon would be there. I'm going to miss him.

Rose and Stephany -- I was so sorry to hear of Vern's passing. He's going to be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. Mama and Daddy will just be lost at the river without him. Lean on the people who love you for support and let God be a comfort to you.

Though I have not seen Vernon in many, many years, I have fond memories of being together at V.G. and Myrtle's when we were growing up. I will pray for the family and their loss but rejoice in knowing a Christian is present with the Lord the instant his spirit is absent from the body. I look forward to the eminently close day of rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16) when we will all be together once again!
