It broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
A part of me went with you
The day God took you home

If tears could make a stairway
And heartache could make a lane
I'd walk my way to heaven
To bring you back again

In life I loved you Daddy
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That Noone ever will

You will be missed daddy. Please look down on mom and let her know you are still with her and us.

You were and still are one awesome dad and friend, and I am so glad we were so close thru all these years. Many good times of laughter and tears.

You're forever in my heart. Love you

Vern was a humble man with a big heart. My husband and I were maintenance managers at Highland where he and his wife Evelyn lived. I remember Vern always being the first one to follow the mail lady to the mailboxes. My husband Jerry and I fell in love with Vern and Evelyn. Vern you will be dearly missed by many people. You touched many hearts in so many ways. Vern what is it like in heaven? Is it peaceful, with no pain? Now it's your job to watch over Evelyn. Let her know when you are around. Give her a sign that she will know it's you. Love you Vern.
