We are overwhelmed with the show of love and support for Keith. Our hearts are filled with gratitude just at the thought of today. Thank you for all of the comments, videos, and most of all the support and effort everyone has put in to make today the best it could be. We miss you Keith, more than you can imagine. But in true smiley fashion, we know that “it’ll all work out”.
