My thoughts and prayers are with Ardell and her family. I got acquainted with Keith & Ardell at Optimist bingo in Canton, SD. They were missed when they moved away and spoken of often, but everyone was happy for them to be near family. We had some good talks and laughs and will treasure the moments.

To Ardell and to all of the Kelly family, my heart goes out to all of you. I've had many great chats with Keith at the dental office and have always thought he was such a kind person. I'm just happy I had the pleasure of knowing Keith, I know he will be missed by so many.
Take care of yourselves and God Bless each and everyone of you.
With my sincerest sympathy,
Cheri Callies (Dr.Montoya's office)
