Our condolences go out to all family members and close friends. When I 1st met Keith and Nancy, I knew they were going to be my friends. Their whole family are great friends. Some of the best I've come to know and love to be around. Nancy always had a huge hug waiting. Nancy, you're the best, one of the greatest people to ever come into my life. This isn't a goodbye but a continuance in our friendship. Thank you and all my Love to you!
