Goodloe and I send our sincere condolences to the entire McKeever family.
I was so very sorry to learn of Dee's death. She was a very giving, fun person and I enjoyed playing golf with her at Capital City for many years.

Ginny and I send our love and prayers to Dee and all the family. Dan was the first junior warden with whom I served 42 years ago, and was a partner at my first General Convention in 1967. It was grand to see Dee when we visited Lenbrook. On this Easter Day, the Day of Resurrection, we give thanks to God for her and know she is welcomed by her Savior. David & Ginny
