Verdell will be dearly missed by me. He was a true confidant and wonderful to talk to. I am so grateful I was able to speak to him days before his passing. We should all know Verdell is resting in peace with his wife and family, never having to endure the suffering of this world again. Your friend, Mildred Cox Brown
