My deepest condolences to Keith’s family. Leith and his father taught me everything they knew about being a butcher and about life. My prayers are with his family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Sending our prayers and thoughts. I’m sure he and the Lord are walking hand in hand and having wonderful talks. Dennis and Heidi Reid
