Leave a tribute for Vernon T. Love, Jr..
Linda, I'm so sorry for your loss here on earth. I can't imagine the loss you are going thru at this moment. However I do know the joy you are feeling knowing our beloved Vernon is walking with Jesus. Oh how sweet it is to know Vernon is free to walk again with Jesus. My prayers for you during this transition is to continue to keep your focus on Jesus the creator and finisher of our faith. Vernon was a mighty man of God and still cheering you on in Heaven.

We will miss our prescious brother Vern. He was a humble and beloved man of God who taught and preached the Word of God and loved his Linda so deeply. We grieve but not without hope. After suffering so long and valiantly he fought the good fight of faith to enjoy his glorious reward with Jesus in heaven. Now the Comforter Himself will comfort Linda and the family until the ultimate family Reunion with the Lord. That is our prayer.
Linda Your Vernon is/was an amazing man of GOD whom we all respected and loved!!! We 've been missing him for quite some time; the Godly man whom the Lord would speak thru during several services; the electrician who would volunteer at the drop of a hat to fix electrical issues!!!! The loving husband of Linda, who is still such a special woman of our LORD , who complimented her husband's passion for JESUS!!! Please know, your Vernon is missed by many, and we want to help you in any way we can!!! Love , Prudy & Dick
