To Keith's parents,

We have never met. I was heartbroken when I learned that 2 young people had lost their lives right next to my home. My mind immediately went to the fact that 2 sets of parents have lost their children. I am a mother and grandmother and can't imagine the pain and heartache that you are feeling. I prayed for you that early morning and have been continuing to lift you and your family up in prayer. My heart aches for you but I serve a living God who is the comforter of all. My fervent prayer is that God will wrap his arms around you with his love and strength during the next days, weeks, months and years.
A friend in your community.
