Thomas Vernon

Ann,Glenn & Sandy, Even though years and miles have kept me from visiting any of you, I wanted you to know how much I loved Uncle Tommy, and will miss sending his yearly birthday card! It was very easy to remember his special day, since we shared January! He was a special man, and I too, will miss him. Love to all of you. Mary

What a dear, treasured individual Tommy Vernon was to my mother, Mary Ella DeAtley, and I, Mary Ann DeAtley Jewett. Over the years, my mother shared remembered stories about Tommy and life in Marion, Virginia. I had the privilege of spending time with Tommy when mother and I drove through Rural Retreat in years past. He was a special man, and he is dearly missed.
Love to Ann and to the rest of the family.
