To the family of Kinya Keller, im sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter, sister, mom. I saw the First 48 today, although I'm an avid viewer I never seen this episode before until today (08/30/18). Such a tragedy that this had to take place. Take comfort for it believe she is in the comfort of the Lord Jesus Christ. I will think of her and her immediate family during the men's rosary prayer group I attend faithfully every Thursday evening. Hopefully if viewed, my condolences will place a smile on your faces and tears of joy not sorrow. May God bless all of you and all of those whose life she touched. Amen
