Mabel Short

I never had the chance to know Mabel personally but in 14 years old and I read her book at the local library and her story and life has truly inspired me. My condolences go out to her family and friends. God bless you.

I was sad to hear of Mabel Short's leaving this earth. I know she is with the Lord and helping in Heaven. Her name is on so many of the Extension Agency papers and brochures that I have from my mother, Thelma Tate who was from BSG. Her legacy to us continues. Thank you, Mabel.

Ron & Joan: So sorry to hear about your mother's passing. You both are an inspiration to our community. May God shed his blessings onto you. John, Beth, Erin & Jessee Hagan, Big Stone Gap, VA

I was sad to read of Mrs. Short's passing. Although separated by time and place, good memories remain. She and Mr. Short were wonderful neighbors to my family (Lacie, June and Mike Collins). Especially remembered were the good times in "Mr. Short's Barber Shop" for my husband and sons.

With thoughts for now and in the days to come, as we have had to do, remember your Mom with the love and joy she gave to each of you.

I am so proud to have been a part of Aunt Mabels life. She made a big impact on me as a child and also as an adult. She will be tremendously missed!
