Aunt Mary was a very quiet and thoughtful soul. She loved her children very much and gave so much of herself. One bright thought is that Aunt Mary is with her sister Delores and her parents and that she is at peace.
Vernon: many people are thinking of you during this very tough time for you. The loss of your mother is a tough road to go down. I know you have many feelings that you are encountering and know that this is all to be expected. Please find comfort in your heart and soul. Always thinking of you.
Vernon – May you find peace at this critical time in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you always my friend.
My condolences are with you and your family. May the blessings of love be upon you. May its peace abide with you. May its essence illuminate your heart Now and forever more.

I don’t know how to comfort you at this time of mourning. I know she’s looking down on you right now just wanting to hold you one more time. But now she is with your Dad Vernon and both of them together will protect you in this life. Love you and take care V.
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.. Vernon, death may end the life of her but never the relationship.. Remember while u r mourning the loss of ur Mother, others were waiting and r now rejoicing to be with her again 🙂 This is not the end but yet just another beginning, love u V !!!!
Vernon, My deepest sympathy. May the fond memories of your mom bring you comfort during this difficult time. I’m keeping you in my prayers. God Bless you and your family.
If one thing I know, you loved some Vernon! I wish I gave you half the love that you gave me. I know your at peace now Mom. I did Love You and one day we will meet again. Love Always Vernon
