Dear Tourtillott family,
It is very hard to lose a dad. It is not easy when he was such a wonderful dad and neighbor. The Richard and Lee Yanta family all want you to know that we shall pray for your dad's soul and each of you. Cherish all the good memories that God has given you over the years. Your dad did have the most wonderful way of giving everyone a loving smile!
God bless you all,
Kymi (Yanta) Kieffer
