Vernon, sleep on take your rest, see you in the morning,
Mr. Vernon. I will never forget how welcoming you were when I visited your home a few years ago with my sister friend and your sister-in-law, Minta. You and Miss Recie made me feel at home. Though I only had one opportunity to spend two days with you, your wonderful spirit and giving heart will be cherished forever.
With fond and loving memories,

Mr Hope was a police officer in Pocomoke when I was a young man. Many years later he told me how he was tricked/pressured into becoming one of the first black officers on the Eastern Shore by then chief Dick Thompson. Mr Hope served for many years and was respected by everyone. Vernon Hope was a man I knew and admired my whole life.
