To the Esquibel Family - I will miss Shorty, he has touched so many people in his life and his loss will be felt by all.
I wanted to let you know that you have my deepest sympathy, and my heart is truly saddened. Shorty will always remain within our hearts and memories; his friendly smile, him always giving even if it was just a piece of bubble gum, and him and my mom laughing and playing jokes on each other. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about. May God give you strength. Love, Mindy Grasmick-Emick |
