HONK!! HONK!! For you Mr. T.

Sandy, Kelly, Lance, It was with great sadness that we received the news of your loss. Keith was a wonderful friend to me especially at a time when I needed one.

God bless this gentle man.

Keith always had a calming factor about him that was just special. Although I had not seen Keith for years, his smile and reasurring manner is still vivid in my mind. The world lost a good, kind, gentle man. But heaven gained an angel who I feel will be watching over all of us.
