Words cannot express how sorry and sad I feel for the entire family for the loss of a great person. Vestal was one of a kind and was so very good to me and my kids and my entire family. I’ll forever cherish all the many memories of all the rides we took and places we all went and meals we shared and the many miles we traveled together. Vestal was the best of the best. He will forever live in my heart and memories. I will miss him dearly. Sending much love and prayers for Norma Jean, Jeff and Janet and Tina and David and Brandy and her beautiful family. My deepest sympathy, Melissa and family
