So sorry to hear of John Keith's passing. I remember those bright eyes and wonderful smile when Bennie would bring him in the store in Bardstown for a treat so many years ago. May he be at peace.

Ester, we are so saddened to hear of your loss. We didn't know John very long but will always remember him for his smile and friendliness. We know that John had asked the Lord to be his savior and hope that gives you some comfort. May God bless and comfort you and your family at this time of loss.

I read of the passing of your loved one and wanted to express my sympathy to your family. Although we do not know each other, I remember losing my best friend some years ago. I received condolences from people I didn't know and this was comforting to me. Therefore, I decided to do the same in hopes that it might add to the love and support you receive from family and friends. Also, God feels for you in your pain and provides comfort in times of difficulty. (1 Peter 5:7; 2 Corinthians 1:3,4) May these thoughts also strengthen you during this extremely difficult time.
