A Big Thank You To The North Judson Community From The Fingerhut Family

Janet and the family would like to let everyone know how grateful we are for the support we have received during these past few weeks. And Keith would have been thinking as all the compliments came rolling in “I was pretty good but I wasn’t that good”. Keith will be missed by many. He had a great laugh and smile, told good stories and had a heart of gold.

God bless you all as he did us.
