Dear Elena, Shannon and Kyla (and feel free to share with "Mrs. Mohler," as I called his mom, whose humor Keith obviously inherited):
I am sorry for your loss. Your father obviously liked to write. Before e-mails replaced our snail mail correspondence, his letters were works of art, intellect and humor.
Keith and I met when we worked together 30 years ago. There was an economic recession that year and employers with the good jobs weren't hiring many journalism / communications college graduates (which fit the description for Keith and me). I met him in 1976 when we both worked in retail selling 'stereos' and cameras. As much as we hated the jobs, he managed to amuse co-worker Gunther and me. Our college degrees weren't doing us a lot of good at the time but life-long friendship prevailed.
When I relocated three years later to Milledgeville, Ga.(NOT to be incarcertated in the town's prison or the mental institution in what your dad dubbed "Midgetsville," attributed to both its smallness and my 5'5" height), I visited Keith a lot in Atlanta. My German Shepherd practically destroyed Keith's bathroom one night when we locked him in it, worried the dog might destroy the living quarters when we left for a restaurant. But Keith just laughed it off, saying something like "it's an event I may incorporate into a short story." I now realize he was being a gracious and funny host for my poor judgement in bringing my new dog to Atlanta on a visit.
I never heard or saw a happier Keith in the years I've known him until he met your mom and then when you two became their precious gifts. After the three of us dined together in Atlanta one night, I could see why he fell for the charms of your mother.
Unfortunately, I never saw Elena and him in person again but always tried to call when I connected through Hartsfield/Jackson airport. Not one letter, call or e-mail didn't have news of how smart your mom is, how hard she works, and your gymnastic prowness or academic achievements, girls. And there usually were photos accompanying the news.
You'll miss him and already do, but we'll all have our memories of a great person whom suffered long enough. I'm sadder today, yet also smile. Tonight I reignite memories of "The Mole" (our nickname for him in '76) but also recall "heavy" discussions we'd have about life and love we all eventually found. Although I can't be there to say "goodbye" to him in person, I believe we'll all see again him, but not with the physical pain he so bravely carried for so many years. Sharing God's love to help us work through the loss...
Sincerely,
