    Nell, You may not even remember me. (We were in the same graduating class in high school. I was so sad for you when I read of Keith’s death. I have such pleasant memories of both of you, and I am sincerely sorry for what you are going through right now. I pray that God will bless you with HIS peace and comfort.
