Dear Shorter Family,
I just wanted to take this time to express my deepest sympathy to your family. Death of a loved one is something we all have to face from time to time, and it is not always easy to do. But what helped me when my dad died is the HOPE outlined in the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:3,4. I hope you find comfort in these scripture as well. My Dad told me great stories of Mr. Shorter as they grew up together as friends. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
