Dear Mike,Mark and Pat,
I am so sorry to read in the newspaper of the loss of your Dad. I know that the loss of a parent hurts but I know also that all three of you are wonderful strong men because you had a great example. I'm praying for all of you and your families and I know that the comfort of the Lord will sustain you during these difficult days.##imported-begin##Carol Davis Lee##imported-end##
Dear Mark and the Shorter family,
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of Colonel Shorter. I have a lot of fond memories of Sam and you and the time that we spent in the National Guard. May God comfort you and your family as only he can.

To the Shorter family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Sam. I fondly remember him at the First Methodist church as long as I can remember and perhaps helping out our Little League team, the "Oilers" from time to time when I was a player with Mike. He was a good man and a kind soul. He will be missed.
God bless you all in this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Sue and Family,
I am so very sorry. Sam was my very favorite symphony board member that I ever worked with. I will miss him, too, especially at Christmas Corner every year.
Love,

Dear sweet Sue,
I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to know and love Sam. I can not remember a time when he came to do his volunteer work with you at GSASC that he did not have that precious smile on his face. He was so devoted to taking care of you. His christian spirit showed in everything he did.
I will miss his "Monday morning hugs".
Love to you and your family,
