"To my great grandpa harvey. Your a hero. I wish we knew about the service so we could have been better for you. I'm greatful for the time we spent in your farm and in the crab apple trees. I took your box of locks and keys when you passed. Bill got your photo of him in your cowboy hat. You know my dad. Thanks for making my first time here in apple a good one. God Blessed The Kegleys. I hope you stay in the mercy seat for my mistakes. You made some memories I still hold. Love you "
