To Irene, Lil Vernon, & Douglas

I am writing for my parents, Tom & Miriam Cardy. We were not aware of this loss until it was too late to make the services. Words fail us at times like these. Please know that you are in our prayers. Vernon Sr was certainly special to my parents, my dad especially. I have often reflected on his funeral and wished I had stood up to say my family's part. My dad would like to speak with Lil Vernon or Irene if possible (337-328-7868)
Praying for comfort and strength for each of you.
