Debbie and Cheryl
I was really sad to receive the phone call telling me that "Aunt Shorty" had passed away. I have such wonderful childhood memories traveling from California to Arkansas and spending time with Uncle AJ and Aunt Shorty and you both. She was a special Aunt and I will always remember her. I am thinking of you both and sending my love and prayers.
