Dear Frances and Family, We are so sorry to hear about Vernon's passing. The last few months have been really hard ones for you all to bear. Just know that Vernon and Dee are both with our Father now and neither is in pain any more. We know that doesn't make it any easier right now, but in time, we pray that your tears will be replaced with happy memories and thoughts of all the good times you had with each other. We pray that God will give you comfort and bring you peace in the days ahead. With love and prayers,
Kathy and Tony Edwards

To The Scott Family: I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear love one. Words cannot express the pain and sorrow that you feel. However, please keep in mind God's promise found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." You have my sincere condolence.

My dearest Frances: I don't even know what to say - the only thing that makes any sense at all is that God was in need of at least 3 more beautiful angels over this past year and chose Mom, Dee and Vernon to fill those spots. Like you, I'm sure, I feel such emptiness at being left behind and our comfort must come from knowing that "there will be a great reunion day" is just over the horizon. I love you and have a room for you here in Tennessee whenever you're ready to come - I'll even taxi you here! I love you - Your "other" Debra..
