On behalf of friends from Malaysia and myslf, I would like to extend condolences to both of you for the recent passing away of your beloved father. We are saddened as we knew both your parents for a long time. Although we live far away from America, we knew your parents as caring and loving people unconditionally.

People sometimes enter our lives and influence us, although it might take us years to recognize what a positive influence they were. I personally regret the time it took me to recognize Keith's influence on me and my life, yet I am grateful to have had it at all.
And bless you both, Shannon and Sean. Love & peace to you both.
