Verdelis, it is your time to rest and be with the almighty God. Thoughts and prayers are with your family. I haven't seen you since Middleton High School but I pray that God enfolds your family during this difficult time and he helps them heal with the passage of time. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort their tomorrow.

My heart is so broken a friend to many a husband, a son, a brother, a father. Verdelis you truly were a one in a million. I just can't believe you are gone we just spoke. I know GOD takes the best but right now? You? You had so much to live for if I could give u a breath to come back I would. Lord knows your family needs all the prayers and strength right now. Rest on Verdelis until we all meet again Rest on my friend.
