Kevin and Cheryl,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I pray that the two of you find the strength to move forward in your lives and find meaning in this great loss. No one but God truly knows why such things happen. Perhaps the three children’s lives that were given a second chance because of Keanan’s gift was part of the plan. Maybe God needed a pure heart and soul such as Keanan’s in his kingdom.
Keanan will always be with us in spirit throughout our lives.
Please know that I am here if you need anything at all.
