Papa Keitt I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet you. Jehan has shared so many stories and memories of you and I truly see where he's gotten so many of his mannerisms from. You will be greatly missed by all those who've known and loved you. Jehan said your last words to him were that you were tired so I rejoice that you are able to rest well in our Master's arms..... xoxoxo
