Dear Kyle and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what a difficult time this is for all of you and send my sincerest sympathies to you all. Kyle, you will get special mention in my prayers through the days to come. Just know that God will be with you and that your dad is pain-free and happy now to begin his eternal life in heaven. My prayer is for peace and blessing to each of you during this time.
Sincerely,
Jeani Shepherd

Dear Kathy and Kyle,
I want to offer you my thoughts and prayers for the much too early passing of Keith. Both of you have been a part of my life and homes for many years. Keith and Kathy first came into my life in l971. I moved to Missouri from Des Moines in 2008 and Keith was one of the last people to "tidy up" my windows before I moved.
Blessings on you both and the extended family. I will hold your family forever in my memories of good conversation and sparkling windows, and, reliability.
Keep up the good work in school and your sport, Kyle. Peace and light to you both.

We're so saddened to learn of Keith's death. We knew him from our many years of church attendance at WorldWide Church of God several years ago. Although we haven't seen him in recent years, we will always remember him for his great sense of humor and quick wit. He had awesome carpentry skills too and could probably build anything you needed! He was always so quick to help anyone in need.
Kyle, I'm sure you don't remember us, since the last time we saw you, you were probably 6 or 7. You dad was a good man. We will miss him!
Our heartfelt sympathies go to Kyle, Kathy, and all of Keith's family.
