On October 14, 2006 my beautiful boy, Keith Jesse transitioned into God´s heavenly community where he came into the fullness of his angelic-self. I know you are free and happy, from whence I take comfort. I miss your smile, your witty sense of humor, the light you brought into our lives. I miss hearing your passionate screams when watching the Raiders and 49ers. I miss sharing Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas and Easter with you. I miss seeing you dress up for Halloween. I´m am sad not to see you fulfill your dreams here-becoming an astrophysicists, getting married, having a family of your own, traveling the world and so many more. But mostly I just miss being with you. Until we fly free together again, know I love you forever with all by heart. Be at peace my beautiful Keith
And thank you for all the love, joy and wonderment you brought into our lives.

Dear Keith,
Today is the first day of the sixteeth year since you left us so tragically and too soon. I miss you everyday and pray that you are at peace. Today is the beginning of what I refer to as my season of mourning untel January 7th when you were born. But during this season of mourning I do more than grieve. I remember your beautiful smile, your quick wit, love of science, curiosity about the universe and beyond. You were loved by family and friends, alike. Your dogs, cats, birds and rats loved you too. Everyday I look up at the sky, listen to the birds, feel the wind and sun and rain and search for you. If only I could see you again, hug you, talk with you, go for a walk, toss the football, watch a movie, eat pizza and ice cream. I hope you are at peace and if there is life after life, I hope you are content, happy, growing and knowing that I love you the most, always will. Be at peace and I will try to carry on honoring your memory and life. Until we meet again, my dear beloved magical wonderous son know that I love always, mom.

Miss you. Dad
My dear son, Keith,
Even after 14 years since your death, October 14, 2006, I continue to miss you more and more as time goes by. I miss your beautiful smile, dry sense of humor, smarts, affection, dreams and news. I miss watching movies and eating pizza with you. I miss seeing who can lift more weights - of course you always could. I miss seeing and hearing you scream during football, enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, Easter. I miss painting your face when you were young like a vampire for Halloween. I miss debating global issues, religion, music and any other topic we wandered onto. I miss hearing your perspectives on family, climate change, physics, oh, so many things I couldn't mention them all. I wish life would have had more joy and love in it for you. I wish you survived the hells of war. I will always miss you, love you, respect you and live my life honoring your life and memory. You are my hero. I wish I could have given my life so that you could have lived. I hope you are happy in heaven. I hope you know how much I love you. I hope you can see all that your father and I are doing to keep you alive in our hearts and thoughts. I wish I had the words to express how deeply sad I am that you died too young, how shattered my heart is while it is mending, how hard it is to live without you. But I know you would want me to carry on and so I will. I love you with all my being forever. Love always, Mom.

My dear beloved son Keith Jesse,
I miss you every moment - your smile, your laughter, your hugs, our conversations about everything. I hope you are at peace in heaven, dwelling with all those who have gone before you that loved you, including your dogs that were so devoted to you. I wish I could have helped you enough so that you could get through your pain and survived. My heart remains broken, tears flow easy even after all these years, I still grieve. Know that I love you more than anyone or anything and always will. I would give my life for you to come back. I look for you in the stars, listen for you in the wind, smile with you in the sun and walk along side of you in the sand. I shall carry on as best I can in remembrance and honor of you. Know that I, to eternity love you, proud of you and grateful for the many blessings you gave me throughout the twenty-eights years we were together, here on earth. Always with you.
love,
mom

January 7 is Keith's birthday. He would be 38 years old. About 10 years ago about this time as he was headed to Alaska he decided to turn around and return to the Bay Area and to turn his life around. All those who knew him and came into contact with him during his rebirth in life were and are blessed. He left us too soon. Love you, Dad

Keith you are in my thoughts often, as I was looking forward to you being stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McCord in Tacoma, WA. My plans were to spoil you as often as I could with home cooked meals and a home away from home. You left us too soon, but I know that you and grandpa are enjoying each other's company. Hugs to you both, Aunt Cynthia (grandpa's daughter)

Keith would have been 36 yesterday, yesterday. It feels as if no time as gone by since the day he died. The gifts Keith gave me will last forever and are too immense to put in words. But I can say that his compassion, intelligence, sense of humor, passion for justice, physics, music, his friends and family and the 49ers are just a few of who he was about. Keith you are one of the best and brightest. You made me a better person and opened my eyes and my heart and my mind to a whole new world of wonder and amazement. You are my angel in heaven now, always in my heart, always blessing me. I love you forever and take comfort knowing we will meet again. Thank you for the being in my life for 28 years, years I will always cherish. Love, mom

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Keith, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Keith, thank you for the memories you have given me. We all miss you and love you!
Love forever,

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Dear Sue and Cliff,
My heart goes out to you in this time of separation and grief. I remember the good times we had together in theological school in Newton, Massachusetts, and all the love that you and Cliff showered on your newly born son, Keith. We spent several years together at the school in Newton and watched Keith grow up and came to experience your family, as a part of our very own. Keith brought a lot of joy and smiles to our community of students, and faculty, and especially to his grandparents, Rev. Cal and Marilyn (whom we deeply admired), who were also faculty. Words can not express the pain both Brenda and I felt when we heard the sad news of Keith’s untimely death in this tragic war in Iraq. Our prayers and positive thoughts, as well as my mother's (Mary), are sent your way across the miles that now separate us. We will keep on trusting God, and believing in the cause of peace and goodness knowing that his sacrifice was not in vain. "I will see you again, and you will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you" (John 16:22). “Death is not the end of life, but a continuation of it; it is merely a crossing over.” (Emanuel Swedenborg) Peace, L’Shalom Alecheim, Steve and Brenda Ellis, Boston, MA

Today is a day reserved for our nation's bravest, Veteran's Day. Sue, Cliff, as a veteran, I would like to thank you for your son's service to our great country; without you, he could not have done so. Keith made the ultimate sacrifice, but died with great pride, honor, and selflessness; our country will miss him dearly. If either of you need to talk, give me a call anytime. Keith, I wish I got to know you better; rest in peace.

Dearest Sue and family: I have been at a complete loss every time I come to this page to write something profound; I can not, but will try this time.
Having you, and the Pacifica Military Moms in my life, has certainly made me a better person and I thank you all for that. We will always be there for each other in good times and in bad.
Yesterday's service was the most beautiful I have ever attended and will always stay with me. Keith is now with God watching over all of us; and will be in our hearts forever. It is comforting.
I am here for whatever you and your dear family may need.
Love always, Judi

Hi Sue,
This is Kristin from the Pacifica mom's group. My heart was with you this week. When I was down in San Diego at my son Bryce's Marine Bootcamp Graduation, I thought of you and Keith and how he must have felt on his graduation day earlier this year. As mother's, one of the most difficult tasks we have is letting our sons (and daughters) make their own decisions and to let them go live their life the way they want to. We want to protect them but at the same time know they have to take their own journey . . .to find their destiny and their purpose. Keith will forever be a noble and brave man immortalized in all our minds as someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I have talked to my son in Iraq about Keith and also told my son Bryce in San Diego about Keith. We spent time visiting the Marine museum and I carefully read the stories of brave men whose stories of bravery and sacrifice were on display. Keith's life is now part of that history and his life touches everyone that lives in this country and relies on our young men to keep us safe by their selfless service. Know that my prayers and support are always with you. My God's grace and his gentle embrace comfort you now and in all the years ahead.

Dear Moore Family,
I am so sad for you. My prayer for you is that even though Keith is gone for now, you will never feel that he is far from you. You will see him again. My son arrived in Balad Airforce Base a week or so ago, so my thoughts are very much with you at this time.

Keith was my friend I was unable to attend his funeral. He was brillant. He was a loyal friend and always there when you needed him. He taught me how to drive, so even before he joined the military I knew he was brave. I loved him and there will a void in our world without him alive in it. His parents instilled in him all the values that make a boy grow up to be a an honorable man. I thank all of you who signed this guest book, and thank you for remembering my fried Keith Moore.

If your child can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 as well and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for right now. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten . You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
