Shorty is missed very much already. I know that she is at peace and with her family that she missed so much. She was like a mother to me. Thoughtful, caring, honest and would do for you whatever needed to be done. I always teased her that she was a wandering gypsy due to her never being home. She enjoyed life even though there were hardships. I know that Shorty is in heaven looking down on me and that is a great comfort.
Jason, she is gone, but, will never be forgotten.
