I would like to share a poem, I think a lot of us feel when someone were close to seem to suddenly pass on and we are only left with our memories we shared of the past!

                                                                                       Loss of a True Friend

                                                                                       Where Have I Gone?

It’s not my Friend has gone!

It’s not the stories we are able to share that make others laugh & cry.

It’s not my Friend has gone!

It’s all the time we never spoke of, no one knows, always confirmed after absence when we see or hear from each other.

It’s not my Friend has gone!

It’s myself I feel slipping away, selfish as it seems, the hole it left inside of me.

It’s not my Friend has gone!

It’s left alone what it was I’ve always known, vanishing, now seemingly just thoughts held by me of my own.

It’s not my Friend has gone!

It’s I never had a chance to tell him what he meant to me, or even a chance to say, Goodbye!

                                                                             I Love You Brother!

                                   If you ever need anything, give me a sign I will know It’s You!

                                                                           Until We Meet Again!

                                                                                  God Bless You!

What’s up Vern. Still surreal that you’re gone buddy. I know God has a plan for all of us and sometimes it’s hard to understand that plan but it’s not for me to question. May your souls rest in peace. Your pal Mike..

PS - I’ll look after the Raiders for you 💪🏽

Vernon was a very special Man and I am sorry for Your loss. Vernon and I meet decades ago as sales reps supporting our Refrigeration customers in the trucking world. He was willing to go the extra mile to help!!!
