Thank uncle Vernon for always being here for me. Thank you for teaching me how to read, do math problems, feeding me, teaching me to ride a bike without training wheels & other things you gave me. I never knew how to read or write or do math problems. You were always there to help me. You were always by my side and I thank you for everything you did for me. Rest well. 🕊
