Sad to hear about Shane's passing. He was a good soul back when we met in the 70's and continued to be throughout his life. My sincere prayers for you all as you adjust. May God wrap His loving arms around you.

I am so very sorry to hear of Shane's passing. I am baffled that he and my grandpa (Frankie fogle) passed on the same day. Shane and pop were great friends and I know pop and shane are in a much better place, probably driving trucks! I know how hard this is, I am grieving as well but I know time heals many things, and at least they are together. I hope you all can find comfort somehow and always cherish the wonderful memories you will always have!
