I am sorry for the loss of Uncle Keith. I was never really close to his family because we lived apart from each other. Kelly was about my age and we would do things together when the occasion arose that we were in the same place. Barry lived in Provo for a while when Jeanette and I were in school. Sue Ann lived in Pleasant Grove and we saw her on occasions when we lived in Provo. I miss my associations with them.
