To the Family of Verle B. Hammond -I’m Praying for you to be comforted & strengthened.
My heart is full of all the memories of having the pleasure of sharing life with Verle from a child to an adult. I am honored to call him  a great leader & mentor in our family.  He has made us proud in many ways. He had courage, strength and was Graced by God to pave the way for so many of us. Through laughter & tears we looked to Verle for answers about this journey  called life . We learned to stand on our own two feet, and hold our heads high no matter what! I told Verle Thank you while he was living . Verle, Take your rest. You will live in my heart as Always…Your Cousin ,Lydia 🌹

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Hammond and the Hammond family.    I pray for peace in your heart.

Verle was such a breath of fresh air.  I adored both he and Eleanor. My sincere condolences on Verle’s passing. Truly a giant. 

Respectfully, 
Angela Burns
