I can't stop thinking about the tragic loss of Vernon Ellis Tew Jr. It's such a devastating blow to Laurel, a place where everyone seems to know each other, and Vernon was at the heart of it all. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at the Laurel Country Club during one of their charity events. His enthusiasm for helping others and his genuine kindness were palpable. It's so hard to understand how a wonderful man could be taken from us over something like a family dispute. The fact that William Hill had to turn himself in just adds another layer of sadness to this whole situation. I remember Vernon talking about his family with such warmth and pride; they meant everything to him. My thoughts and prayers are with Becky, especially, as she navigates this incredibly difficult time without her life partner. It's unimaginable to think of the pain his entire family must be facing now. Hopefully, the investigation will shed light on exactly what happened and bring some sense of justice, though I can’t imagine anything will truly heal the void left by Vernon's passing.
