To know Vernon was to love him.

He loved music, dancing, eating, talking

and fellowshipping with people. Most of all he enjoyed

spending time with his family and friends.

If you encountered Vernon on his daily journey, I’m sure

he greeted you with hello, a smile or even, a wave.

He left his heart and memories with all who love him: Sisters, Tangela,

Christine, Genise, and Sabrina. One Sister Wanda Felicia Stackhouse
