    Carolyn I'm so sorry to hear of your temporary separation. To us Vernon was a man, a man of his word and as honest as any man we ever dealt with. Celebrate his graduation now as he suffers no more. He has joined Linda who graduated to Heaven 12-30-10. You and I shall join them in God's time. Prayers are going up for you and your precious family. In Christ NP

    Carolyn and family, So sorry to hear about Vernon. He was a good friend and helped build my house with Don Carroll. I always knew I could call Vernon for anything and he would be right there. He helped me keep my restaurant going and I still enjoy my house that he helped build every day. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
