Keith and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. While we never met your dad, through the many stories about him that you've shared over the years, we felt like we knew a part of him. You've always spoken so highly of the things he taught you as a child, the places you traveled together and the time you shared. We are so, so sorry for your loss.
Without a doubt, the greatest gift your father gave us was you. You are like a member of our family, and our hearts are with you and your family. We are here for all of you if you need anything at all.
