April 19, 2020 at 10:18 pmTo Vernon and family , may God bless you with strength and love. You are in my prayers. I will always treasure the memories of growing up with Little Bro and Vernon in our beloved Titustown. We walked the train tracks, ate Blackberries, shot Marbles … tried to be Caddies. We had fun back in the Day! I was blessed to see Little Bro this year.
Always Love, Ray Calloway!
