To all of Shorty's family, I hope God gives you strength and praying your lives will be fulfilled as Shorty would want. Words won't make it easier, but Love will. I was related to Shorty by marriage for awhile and enjoyed his company. He was a great guy and he will make a wonderful Angel. To Tim and Lisa, God be with you. God be with you all!
