Betty: Was so sorry to learn this morning of Shortys passing. I know he finally is in no more pain and knowing that I am thinking of you during this time! You had many good times together! Keith Gray Martinsville
Betty & family, sending my deepest sympathy. I really feel that Shortly is now smiling and tinkering again, because he is no longer in pain and he can easily get around. He probably is talking up a storm with those he is reunited with again.
May the love of family and friends bring you peace and comfort. Dick and Kay Horner
So sorry to hear this news. Thinking of all of your family:(
