You loved me as your son and I'm proud to be your son. I love you, Pops. I am going to miss you. But, I know I'll see you again because Jesus told us He went to prepare a place for me and you.

Vas was my favorite choir singer, you could hear his voice even from the back of the church, it was so deep and rich, and one I will never forget. He will be missed.

I know Vas is singing in a heavenly choir with his voice deep and rich again! I treasure my memories of Vas. I am so thankful to have met him. He was a wonderful man and a wonderful Christian. May God comfort you in this sad and lonely time.

Lela, and Carolyn, may God bless and keep you. You and Vas were the best neighbors, and friends one could have. Even though we have moved away, you can still call on us whenever needed. We are not that far away. We love you.
