My brother Jerome and I grew up with Keith and his brother Jeff in Roselle, IL. Although we were in different grades we all attended Lake Park High School in the good old 80's. Last year, Gina was our son's 3rd grade teacher (it's a small world). Our sincere condolences to Gina and the Sample family during this tough time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Tim, Sylvia, Mason and Madeline Borst
