Dear Katheryn and family-I was so sad to learn about Shorty. Even though my sisters and brother attended his funeral, we did not really get a chance to talk with you all. Shorty was so special to me. We were childhood buddies. I really loved my cousin and I am sorry I did not spend more time with him and his family after we were grown. God bless you all, I know you will miss him very much.-Janie Lovelady Whitaker
