My father was my rock. He guided me into believing that the Lord Jesus Christ was is and always will be the only way to ever lasting life. He was the one person that I knew that believed so strongly in The Lord that he walked the walk and he talked the talk. Dad may not have been the easiest person to get along with at times, but in the last months of his life he behaved much like a child. So innocent and needing to be verbally catechized from time to time. I have every belief in the world...

Although I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Vaughn, I can tell that he passed down strong values to his family. Ive had the pleasure of working with his Granddaughter Michelle for the past 8 years and see those values and compassion through her work. I am so sorry for your familys loss and am praying you find comfort in memories.
