JoAnn, Gwen, Wanda, and Donna, our family is thinking about all of you. We have so many fond memories of time spent in our childhood with your family (camping trips, picnics, rock hounding, talent shows, tag, hide and go seek.) We remember how "easy going" and kind Vernon was and how much our Dad enjoyed his friendship over the years. Those "Dad guitar sessions" brought us children and our mothers together for some fun, too. We hope the many good memories you have with Vernon/your Dad bring you comfort, along with knowing that others care about your great loss. Love, Laurie (Sue) (Clarke) Myers
