Dearest Georgianne, I am saddened to hear of Keith’s passing. Please know that each time Keith was here at my home he was always kind and honestly respectful. He was always welcomed. My heart is heavy with grief for you. I too, have lost a son at the young age of 17. Words cannot adequately express the heartfelt sympathy that I feel for you at this difficult time. Please, call us anytime. I will always be here for you and your family.
