"KT" was a dear, dear friend, who was also like family to us; so today we share a measure of your sadness, but we also celebrate that in his transition, KT is now free from worry or ailment, and together again with others we loved and lost. We pray that you are comforted and encouraged.

To my dear friend Leslie, Rest in knowing that you were a wonderful daughter and certainly a precious Daddy's girl. I imagine your Daddy was excited to see your Mommy and other loved ones when he made his earthly transition to heaven. We are trying to make it to a place thats now his home. I will be praying for you, Myles and your entire family. I offer my condolences, sympathy and pray Gods strength and peace. Love you, Kim Laffoon
