Thank you. He mentioned the name Keevil to me several times through the years. He considered you a dear friend.
Mr. Horace will be truly missed. He was a ray of sunshine at Peggy Lynn’s. He will always have a special place in mine and Jennifer’s heart.
Thank you for your kind words. You both meant a lot to him. I will be forever grateful for all you did for him.
So sorry for your loss. He was a very
nice person.
