2 years ago today, I still burst into tears crying every time I sit down and think of you. I am told that someday I will smile when I think of you but for now it still feels like someone is ripping out my heart. I miss you and love you so much.

What a great guy

Vernon was my dad's cousin and a constant in our lives growing up. He was a fishing partner and we had a lot of great trips turtle trapping and ice fishing. So sorry to hear about his passingĀ
