Vernie, you were like a father to me. You always gave such great advice and helped me through my hardships with my family. You gave me shit quite a lot and I loved it. Thank you for taking me camping with your family and treating me like a daughter. I'm so sorry we lost touch.But I'm telling you now I love you still like a father and I'm so grateful to have known such a wonderful person. I know you are very missed by a whole lot of people and you will stay in many hearts forever. I love you Vernie. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
To Starla, Kristi, Kera, Vern, Jesse : I love you all and am and have been sending prayers your way. I know losing someone so close is the hardest thing in the world. but the pain will ease over time. I know the pain will never be completely gone but his loss will get easier to handle eventually. I will pray for your happiness and healing. I care for all of you, still, incredibly much and only wish the best for you all. I love you all, take care.
