I had the pleasure of working with Tim. He was always full of such joy and life and was a good friend. I was privileged to meet his kids in person and through wonderful and proud stories. I'm so very sad that cancer took him away far too soon. I am grateful he was a part of my life.

I Ditto Betsy! I will miss Tim's smile, which he never lost! I promised Tim I would take care of the children! I am not worried because I know we have a village! Tim's Sister, Laurie (Katy, I never asked who Tim's favorite sister was...)

Dear Vernon Family,
You all are in my prayers. I had the pleasure of working with Tim, and always enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor and ability to tell a great story. I remember his kind heart, the joy he had in spending time at the family cabin, and most of all how proud of and how much he loved his 3 dear children. May God bless and bring comfort to you all.

As I type this in, my heart is pounding. Tim always had that affect on me. I had the privilage of falling in love with him as teenagers and have kept him close in my heart as a cherished friend my lifetime. I have loved the Vernon family ever since I had the true blessing of meeting them in the early 70's and have always esteemed them as some of my very favorite and special people in this world. Thank-you for welcoming me in to your lives way back when and know that not only Tim but all of you had such a positive and lovely influence on my life. I always wished for Tim a beautiful life and I know he found his joy in this world. God Bless all of you and please forgive me for not being able to fly in for his services. I loved him dearly! Deepest Condolences. Sincerely, Marie (Peg Mortell) Talen

Dear Vernon Family -

Tim was a wonderful friend and co-worker. I miss his laughter, sense of humor, and most of all his friendship. He fought a long hard battle and can now rest in the comfort of God's arms. What a strong, courageous man. I am honored to have known Tim and to call him my friend. God Bless
