Rhonda and Sherri,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I am praying for your families.
I know how hard it is for you and for your children.
It has been a tough summer on all of us cousins. We have all lost our
dads this summer and just within the last few months.
Thurman and my dad in July and now Calvin.
Love you both and I have many great memories of our youth together.

Our sympathies to the entire Shorter Family. It seems like yesterday ~ thought it was two months ago ~ that we were sending similar thoughts when Thurman passed. Both Calvin and Thurman are part of my memories of what we recall as "The Good Old Days in Spray". May God grant you all His peace and comfort in this time of loss and sorrow.

I am sorry for your loss. I don't know your family personally but wanted to express my sincere condolences. It is difficult to deal with the death of a loved one and for that reason God invites us to throw our burden upon Him and He will sustain us. (Psalms 55:22). So prayer and supplication will help you to deal with your loss and knowing that soon God will wipe away all tears from our eyes and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4)
