We are sorry to hear of Shorty's passing. We couldn't make it to the Funeral, but want to let you know the family is in our thoughts and prayers. We always enjoyed talking to him when we would get together.
May these words bring you comfort and hope as they did for our family during our loss. Found at John 11:25 spoken by Our Lord Jesus �½�½"Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." Your neighbor and friend, Maddy Hernandez
