Well Shorty. Yeah, I know! Don't call you shorty. But it stuck and that is how Our New Bedford Rainbow Reunior Group will ALWAYS remember you.
We had WONDERFUL times together. I learned perseverence from you.
I Will miss you and talking about all the different activities we did. Like Emmaus, Chrysalis and church activities.
Not only will your Chocolate chip cookies be missed. But there's a void that can't be filled. Now, you are gone from our table. But the Lord has taken you to the place he has prepared for you. And you will feast at HIS table Forever.
See you again, my friend
