I have such fond memories of my Uncle Vernon (uuhhhhgene). He was a lot of fun . I love to tease and be teased by him. The trip I took with you guys when we went to the Grand Canyon I will always remember.

Dearest Tim, Shirley and Debbie and all of Vernon's family,
So very sorry about Vernon's passing. Being a sister-in-law at one time I came to know Vernon quite well and have many fond memories of good times (and some not so good). He struggled in those days not seeming to know exactly what his place was. Am happy for him that he finally seemed to have found his happiness and peace within. Of course you all will miss him terribly, but I pray God will gather you into His arms and comfort you with His strength, love, blessings and peace. My deepest sympathies to you all!! Much love, Bev (Wilbur) Silvius
