He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. We had so much fun together when you lived in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Remembering our days at Fat Harold’s. We know he suffered so much with this ugly disease and he handled it with so much courage. May God bless him, Carol and the family. Sincerely, Rudy and Anita Wooten

We remember Vernon fondly when we were in the same Sunday School class at King’s Baptist. He was always so cheerful and friendly.
We are very sorry for your loss and are thankful for the assurance that God treasures the death of His people, for in their passing He welcomes them home.

Vernon was a great friend at Delhaas HS.He was our football quarterback and was outstanding. At our 2013 class reunion at Langhorne Country Club, Vernon approached me at the very end-

I will never forget what he said to me. ” I love you John “.

Condolences to Vern’s family and friends. Knew Vern Jr thru Senior Highschool. We played on the football team and Vern was a true team player and good quarterback. He was always in a good mood and was quick to praise. On a recent phone call he thanked me for being on the team and helping him run good plays and protecting him from incoming opponents. Vern will be well remembered. RIP old friend.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
