"I worked a Lena's Cafe for quite some time while living in Monticello, and Mr. Warner visited me every morning. I always knew what he wanted for breakfast, even though he ate the same thing, almost, everyday. He was so full of love and kindness and I know without a doubt, he lived a wonderful, honest, and brave life. He carried God with him, where ever he went. He was the sweetest man anyone could ever of met. I'll never forget my waitressing days with this man. I'll surely miss him."

"Mr Vining was such a nice man. He attended many of our groups singings over the years. My last fond memory of him was when I went into Lena's cafe (a regular hangout of his) I asked him how he was doing, to which he answered "Pretty good for an old man....but if it was you...you'd think you were dying!" That was Mr Vining. Rest in Peace!"
