Dea. Walter Key was my Godfather and I was sick the day he was eulogized. I thank God for his wisdom and his love to me as his goddaughter, along with Mrs. Vera Key, my Godmother who made my Easter dresses as a child and gave me big Easter baskets full of candy. I have so many wonderful memories of my Godparents and with my two Godbrothers, Harvey and George. Our lives were intertwined as church members, community members and schools. Great mentors came from that generation including my parents and Godparents! They took us to church and showed us how honorable hard work is and to help others along the way. There has been a lot of changes since 2015, but God is still the same. I love you much, Harvey and George and your families! We have to continue to pass on that knowledge and wisdom to others!

Dad you were the wind under my wings and I praise God for allowing me to have had such a wonderful, loving and caring father. It was your love as a earthly father that assured me there was a Heavenly Father above. I will continue to preach The Gospel Of Jesus Christ and be a servant to mankind just as you taught me. I will never forget you, I will think of you everyday of my life, and look to the day we will be together again.
Your Son,
Pastor George W. Key

To Mr. Key's family, I want you to know how much we here at the Aiken County Government RMC will miss seeing Mr. Key and his kindness. He would bring us peaches and we would help him look up deeds to properties. He would always bring someone with him when he came who was equally kind. We know there is an sweet Angel in heaven.
