Cager & Mandy I am truly sorry for your loss. May God bless and keep you.
Mandy, My heart ached as Deana shared with me your past week. And I am sure this hasn’t been easy for you or Cager. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. And although Keyshawns’ time here on earth was to to short, he lives in “our” hearts forever. And to lexi- I know you were looking forward to Keyshawn, just know he is your “lil” angel. -Sonia
