Mary Frances, I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your husband Keith. I spoke with Cheryl, and it sounds like it was quite unexpected. Although I only met him a few times, I always thought that you both belonged together. Please also send my condolences to your daughter Gloria. Mary Frances, we miss your smile and outgoing spirit at the Board. But I am glad that you had this extra time to spend with Keith.

Regards, Angela Lykos

God Bless Keith Bruce....one of the best. I have a happy memory of Keith and the gang playing Risk while we were hanging out during college at CUA. He was a great person to be around, in all ways. God's Love and prayers to Mary Frances, Gloria and the many, many friends and family who miss you already, Keith.

Keith was truly a Renaissance man with many talents and much humility. He is the first of my friends from the Catholic University Class of '74 to pass away. I guess it is true that only the good die young. I know you'll make the most of this new adventure, Keith.
