Vernon and Nancy were
“the perfect couple,” friend Susan Pilkington-morin wrote. They were together for 3 years and married for 2 years.
As Nancy’s daughter, Toni-Marie
Knight, put it:
“Vern had a zest for life, a love for Jesus,
a love for his family, made my mama so very happy and was one of the kindest
men in my life. So very sad we didn't have more time, but rest knowing he's in
the presence of the Lord.”
Nancy’s
response:
“So grateful to have had the time that we had together.
He was one of the kindest and loving men I ever knew. During our time together
he made me a better person. I will love him forever. I will miss him dearly but
know I will see him again one day. Rest In Peace.”
Lynny Anne Pettit, Nancy Pettit’s
granddaughter, recalls the time that she had a surprise reunion with Vern and
Nancy in Des Moines, Iowa.
“We live 25 miles apart,” Lynny Anne wrote,
“and ran into Nana and Vern in Des Moines, Iowa. So much fun connecting for
dinner.”
