I am saddened by Keta's untimely death. I last saw her this same time in 2007. She hugged me, we shared a laugh and I will never forget her smiling eyes, the sound of her voice and laugh. My heart goes out to her children, her sisters, brothers and mom. I will keep you all in my prayers. Rest in peace Kita.

Vickie,
Sorry for your lost. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and know that Keta is now an angel watching over you all. She will be with you always.

A Blue Jay landed on my porch today
such a beautiful sight in a world that feels so gray right now. I couldn't pull my eyes away, and then I thought of you and all of the love and all of the things that you never knew. Then I thought of me and all the things I can never change, my heart fell into pieces my tears fell down like rain. I couldn't let you know how much I love you, I can't erase that from my mind. I would tell you that again and again if I could just see you one more time. But now you're gone I pray and pray that it isn't too late to say these words, I love you cousin Keta! That's when I felt a breeze and at that time, that Blue Jay flew away...I heard a whisper in the wind, "don't worry, everything will be ok"
I Love You Cousin.
