I knew something was wrong when he didn't call after he got my Christmas card, and I called and couldn't get thru-my daughter found out today and came and told me. I never met you boys but knew of you. Your Dad and I have been friends for over 38 years since my husband died who was your Dad's friend. I saw him last October and was up there this year end of October and called him but didn't get to see him-said he had a houseful. I miss you my friend and will miss our talks. May God keep you in his care. I'm so sorry Kelly and Shane for your loss. Sharlene Henderson
You have our deepest condolences in your loss of Porter. Death is truly an enemy to all of us. The ones left behind need comfort. This scripture in James 1:13 may bring your family comfort. You may also find comfort in knowing that our loving heavenly Father Jehovah will bring about Resurrection very soon.
My deepest condolences to the Ingram family, may you find comfort in prayer and the beautiful words of Isaiah 25:8 where God promises us that He will soon eliminate all death and suffering.
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, Kelly and Shane. I hope he didn't suffer. Take care, Donna Wollmuth
To one of the best friends I had. Will miss him dearly.
Porter, so glad that we talked on Saturday. It was great seeing you again. God Bless You and your family! Bruce and Diane Hietpas
