Dot, Charlene and Rita, I was so sorry to hear about Vernon passing. I always thought he was so full of life when I was growing up . He always kept us laughing. I really loved coming to your house and Mama always loved you and Vernon so much. Just because we haven't saw much of each other the last few years I've thought of you alot and the family. Vernon was a really good man and my prayers are with you at this time. Love to all of you . Bonnie Holt Savage

Dot, Charlene, Rita, Denny, and Kevin. I wanted to let all of you know that Sherry and I are thinking of you and we wanted to let you know that we are sorry we couldn't be there with you. Vernon was always great to me and I will always remember growing up all the times he would come down to the shop and hang out with us. John and I always liked the fact he would come down on the tractor to see what was going on and tell us stories after stories. Bud Clark

Charlene - I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Dad. I never got to meet him and have not seen you in a long while, but I do have fond memories of you. Praying for you and the entire family for God to give you all great comfort and peace at this time and the weeks and months ahead. I lost my Dad 9/25/2010 and it has not been easy as I miss him so much, but Praise God, I know he's in a better place than we are. May God bless and keep you all!!
