Colby Brown's Tribute to Vernon
This poem was written by Colby for Vernon

But as our relationship progressed a tenderness surfaced and a friendship began that I never imagined would be.
Whatever bothered you, no matter how personal it might be.
It always seemed you could tell it to me. And all the feelings and worries no one knows about me. You were the one that I would let see. Early in the morning, talking about what was locked deep inside. All of the things that were sheltered by our stupid pride. All the people you love, you think you may not often enough told. They know. And those people who loved him, who think it was not enough said. Trust me, those feelings were read. But what I really want to say about you, you are a true to heart friend, Vernon I love you and I'll miss you.
Colby chose the song "Wish you were Here"
The midi playing has been made for me by two wonderful friends, AnneMarie and Steen Brandt. I had looked all over to find this midi and I could'nt find it anywhere so when Steen offered to help me with this I was very gratefull. And now finally it is here, on this page where we wanted it to be. Steen I would like to offer my thanks to you and AnneMarie, this has made me very happy. My love and blessings to you both. ( The midi you hear was made by John Trap by way of my good friends from Denmark, Anne Marie and Steen Brandt.)
I can just see them,
walking on the shores of heaven
Praising the Lord, watching the tide roll in
Friends that have gone on, Oh how I miss you so
And somehow I know if you could, you'd let me know
That your doing fine, and it doesn't hurt anymore
Things couldn't be better, and Heaven is worth waiting for
That you miss me too until then, you'll be praying for me
And I know if you could talk to me now
Here's what you'd say to me
Wish you were here
It's such a beautiful place
Wish you were here
Nothing but clear sunny days , it never rains
and no one complains, and we haven't seen a tear
We're having a great time,
Wish you were here
I can just see them, walking on the shores together
Their talking with Jesus, safe and secure in his love
Friends and love ones, walking in Heavenly peace
And I know if they could talk to me know
Here's what they 'd say to me
Wish you were here
It's such a beautiful place
Wish you were here
Nothing but clear sunny days, it never rains
and no one complains, and we haven't seen a tear,
We're having a great time
Wish you were here
Well it never rains, and no one complains
and we haven't seen a tear
Oh we're having a great time
And we wish you were here

Carrie Wright gave me a poem you can read and listen to the music she chose for Vernon
