Dear Keith,

Jake and I left flowers for you yesterday at Ken's house and Jake wrote you a letter. We miss you so much! I can't believe it's been a year. Jake talks about you all the time, and every time, it's always this great, happy story of something you two did together. We will both see you again soon enough.

Love, Lianee

Keith,
I can not believe you are gone. I was shocked to hear of the news. I always liked you what a sense of humor you had. I am so glad we made contact the past year wished I would have saved the messages though. I wished I would have taken you fatherly advice when I was a teenager. You were an amazing man. You will be missed not forgotten.

Dave & Rhoda:

I was so very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child. I just cannot imagine a deeper, more heart felt pain than that. Still, we take comfort in knowing that Keith is in our Father's loving care and that you will be reunited with him again. Please know that your prayer buddies will continue to lift you up over the days, weeks and montha ahead. Always remember that you are loved and you are liked.

Love & Blessings,

Mr & Mrs Laff and family:
I happened upon this site trying to find information about Keith's funeral. I live next door to Keith with my Mom & partner and we all were incredibly stunned and saddened by Keith's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. We miss him dearly - all of our front yard chats, all the laughter, stories, advice & gripes. He watched out for us, as I'm sure he still will. Our most sincere condolences go out to you & all his friends and extended family. He was a very good man and his passing has left a very large hole in our lives and our hearts.

Mr. & Mrs. Laff,
You know how deeply I love Keith. Please know if you need anything, I am here. I cling to the beautiful memories we all shared at Thanksgiving. I am reminded of
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18. Keith had told me the week before, that he would pray for me. He also loved a song that said, "show me what I'm looking for, Oh Lord!"
He IS with our SAVIOR!

I was so sorry to hear of Keith's passing. It has been years since we all attended Brookshire. Some of my fondest memories growing up include you and your family. I hope that the thoughts and prayers of others lift you up during this most difficult time.

I'm the twin that worked with Mrs. Laff at DYS.
