To Shorty’s family,
To Shorty’s Family, I am so sorry to learn of Shorty’s passing. She was a sweet person. Her and Harlan were such good friends when Roger and I were first married and she baby-sat our first daughter, took great care of her, for a year or so. Harlan was my Dad’s hired man on the farm. Every Sat. night, my folks and Harlan and Shorty went dancing, such great memories of them! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. With Deepest Sympathy, Karen
Nargi, Kenny & Families- we were recently talking about your Mom. She & your Dad were wonderful Family Friends. We have great memories of camping with them at the Dalton Gang campground. We were young newly weds with our babies- the Kruse’s, Barrett’s and Seibels were great folks! They raised two wonderful children – please get in touch with us – Facebook, home phone. (((Hugs))) to you both!
