Rosie, Jerri Lou, Kally: Thinking of you and know you are sharing fond memories of a man with a great smile who loved all of you very much. I am smiling and saying thank you for giving a little neighbor girl the chance to pretend she owned a horse...Spooks was the best, even with abrupt stopping. Ruth Ann Avery Keefer and David Keefer
