Add A Condolence

I only new him for a little while through Christa Keys, he was a very nice man and loved his children and grandchildren. Rest in peace until we meet again in Paradise.

For his anger endureth but a moment, in his favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5
