Our hearts go out to the McKay family.
Lindsay and Rob were life long friends and as with most friendships the rest of the family is not far behind. We share many memories of times spent all together at the Point or at one of the McKay homes where all were welcome anytime.
Keith will be missed but I am sure he is in good company watching over us.
