Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. The death of a young person particularly pains us because of the tragedy of a life not fully lived. Often we search for answers that will explain why someone so young had to die. Through the pages of the Holy Scriptures , we find satisfying answers that will serve as a consolation to us. During this time of grief please find hope in God, the one who gives comfort.(2Cor. 1:3-5 )

My thoughts are with you Kristi, so very sorry.

My heart is breaking for you, Kristi, but no actions or words can mend your broken heart. Just know that I am holding you close to my heart and whispering a prayer that God will give you the peace that only He can give. Although I did not know Keaten, her inner beauty radiates through that beautiful smile. She is an angel, so much like her precious mom.
