Vernon, Rachael & entire Humphrey Clan,
What a shock but an excellent example of how we must live each day as if it were our last.

We know just how much you LOVED your mother! You were always very supportive and caring toward her. We too share very fond memories of her and her warm, beautiful smile and gentle touch. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. We wish you all God's richest blessings now and always.
