My deepest condolences to the French family, especially his parents, his children, and his wife Heather. Keith was a childhood friend, and I feel blessed to have been able to renew our friendship through Facebook. We talked a lot about my husband's illnesses, the loss of his first wife, his son Chad's death, and through his battle with cancer. He was so happy to have found Heather to spend his remaining years with. He loved you so much, Heather. His strength, and his faith in God, were inspiring. You will be missed, my friend.
