Dear Pam, so sorry to hear of Vern's passing. I knew you told me he was very ill. My prayers are with you and the family. He was such a sweet guy. God be with you.

When I was a child I always called Vern "Aunt Vern" instead of Uncle Vern. He made me feel safe whenever I visited his home. He will be missed. May God bless and comfort those in his community.
