Dear Larsen Family:
Keith was my first home teaching partner in Rexburg and taught me much that I have remembered. He is a well respected man and will be very busy now. Hope Vawna was able to be there to welcome him. Gary West and West Family

Dear Larsen Family,
How sad to note the passing of such a great neighbor and friend. Brother Larsen was a truly great man and a major influence for good on all of us who knew him. May God's kindest blessings of peace and comfort be with you all in the coming days.

So sorry to hear about Keith. We are all so bad at keeping in touch though I've thought about him a lot lately. Wish I could be there, but my kids don't think I should drive myself. (Sound familiar?) Love to you all. I know it will be hard, Betty, but family really helps. Love, Kay
