All the best to your family in this difficult time.

Randy and Family, Just wanted to let you know we were thinking of you. Mr. Sinclair was a dear friend to Shorty and our family--we have many memories to cherish. Take care and just keep in mind we will all be reunited again one day with our Lord.

Randy and Family,
I wanted to leave a note letting the family know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember many years ago when I was in the Boy Scouts with Randy and Mr. Sinclair served as one of our Scout Leaders. The many camping trips we took and how Mr. Sinclair would always be there for each one of us, even when we were a handful at times. I know how difficult it is to lose your parents and how much we miss them especially this time of year. Know that their pain and suffering is all gone and that you have the good memories to cherish and to hold on to.

Randy, Freddie, and Kenny,
I am so sorry to hear about your Father's passing. He was a very special person. I really enjoyed spending time with him and Aunt Jean over the years. You can take comfort in knowing that your Mom and Dad are together now. God Bless each of you.
