VERNE WAS A DECORATED WWII VETERAN. HE WAS A KIND, COMPASSIONATE, SENSITIVE, INTELLIGENT MAN. HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER IN TULARE. HE WAS EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY.
HE HAD ONLY ONE FAILING. HIS WIFE.
MARY BOX WAS A CHILD ABUSER. SHE WAS NARCISISTIC AND PARANOID. SHE HAD NO CAPACITY FOR LOVE IN ANY WAY.
SHE WAS MENTALLY ILL. SHE HATED HER OLDEST DAUGHTER KAREN. SHE PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSED HER.
THEY SAY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. IN THE CASE OF VERNE AND MARY BOX, MARY SHOULD HAVE DIED GIVING BIRTH. VERNE SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED UNTIL MANY YEARS LATER. THE ORDER OF THEIR DEATH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN REVERSE. THE WORLD IS GOING TO MISS VERNE BOX FOREVER. THE WORLD IS FAR BETTER OFF WITHOUT MARY BOX.
