It was an honor to have met your loved one. I really enjoyed discussing ethics and police practices with him. My deepest and sincere sympathy to the family.
May the love of God be made manifest to you in this hour of bereavement.

We only met Keith a few months ago when we started attending Great Bridge Church of God. He was a delightful man who always took the time to make you welcome. We also enjoyed his teaching in Sunday School. Our prayers are with you, knowing that God will walk with you, every step of the way.
