I remeber when my Uncle John
I remeber when my Uncle John went to Harrison House he didnt like it at all. But it was because of a faithful friend Mr. Vernon White he felt at home. Mr. Vernon was in a wheel chair and had to get him self over there and he would us that Good leg and pull him self all the way. They would sit and talk about old time he was a God sent and I think him for those time and praise God for him. May he Rest Easy in Paradise with a God he loved so much R.I.P Mr. Vernon.
