Grampy, Go fly free in the great beyond. Please stop by the Rainbow Bridge from time to time and greet Reba and Jack for me. Someday mom, dad and I will be back with. What a glorious day it will be.😀 Lots of love and kisses, Gabby Girl 🐾
To Rita and Family, I was quite saddened to read about Herb’s passing. I’m a former classmate of Megan’s and would be at the house from time to time, he would either have a joke to tell me or tease me about something, can’t forget that laugh. RIP Mr. Shaner.
Thank you Shaner Family for always being there for the Erickson Family. My thoughts, love, hugs and prayers are with all of you.
So sorry that Bill and I can’t be there but please know we are thinking about all of you. Sending you prayers and love. Bill and Dixie Burrows
Grampy, I miss you lots. When I was little, I remember going to the ranch and you always gave me a big hug. You were always a big part of my life. Time goes by slowly without you here, but I know you and all of the other angels are watching over me. When I get sad, I look at a picture of you smiling and it makes me feel better knowing you are okay. I made one of my favorite pictures of you my lock screen on my phone, so that it’s the first thing I see when I turn on my phone. I love you forever Grampy, and I will take great care of the family.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
