Vernell Spelmon Obituary

Vernell "Aunt Vern" Spelmon, 78, went to be with the Lord on Monday, Aug. 13, 2012. Service: 3 p.m. Saturday at Golden Gate Funeral Home, 5701 E. Loop 820 South, Fort Worth. Wake: 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. When I Must Leave You When I must leave you for a little while, please don't grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years, but start out bravely with a gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. -- Author unknown

Ms. Spelmon was a very nice and sweet person. She was one of the first to greet me when I started at Times Square on the Hill where she resided at the time. I didn't hear of her passing until yesterday.

Aunt Vern, I met you through my daughter DeeDee and just the little time of me meeting you I found you to be a sweet and lovable lady. You had a special personality that I am truly known was loved by everyone because of your spirit. We will all miss you but God was ready for you to be at rest and come to work in his vineyard. I am saying sleep on and take your rest your work has finished down here.
