Kedi you were the best dad a girl could have.You tried so hard in life to get me to see how much GOD loves me, but I was to caught up in the world to really listen.Your death took such a big toll on me that all I could do was turn to GOD for comfort.I love you so much and I hate that I didn't tell you as much or as often as I should have,but I know in my heart that you knew exactly how I felt.Now I know the joy of the Lord that you were trying to show me while you were here and I thank you for planting the seed before you left.You loved me unconditionally in life and I know that you are still loving and praying for me now. I will always love and remember everything you taught me and I hope that you are smiling now because I have finally found my way back to unconditional love. You are never far from heart and I will cherish you always. Love your daughter, LaSheena ( Fee-Fee).

To Malissa and the Haley Family

Keith was a saved man that loved the Lord with his whole heart. He went above and beyond to speak words of encouragement, share a word from the Lord, and give an uplifting card, share tapes on the word and even books from one of his many collections, Joyce Meyer ministries. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross at Nike over the 11 years that I had the pleasure of knowing Keith. I will truly miss Keith but I know that in my heart that he is with his heavenly Father because the word says to be absence in the body is to be present with the Lord.

Sister in Christ and Nike co-worker

I worked with Keith for ten years and, as you know, he was a good, kind soul. Whenever I saw him, he had a smile and an anecdote for me and I hope he knows I appreciated them.
