To My Beautiful Wife Thank You !

All of my success and excellence wouldn ’ t have come without my beautiful wife Ama Bonney Matthews of 26 years this month , July 12th . She pushed me when no one else believed in me and straightened me out when I screwed up . I ’ m happy to have her by my side . Not only as my wife but a great partner in life . There are so many other people that I would like to talk about but I ’ ll save that for our next article . Vernon has three children : daughter Jennifer Maria – 34 , son Aaron – 28 , and daughter Ania Paige – 24 .
