My Uncle Keith was such an amazing , cool, and loving man. He loved his family and he was so proud of his children. His love and knowledge of music was deep and intense. He was an excellent uncle, there was nothing that I wouldn't do for him while he was here, now I carry that spirit of heart and love towards his children. I love them with all of my heart and there's nothing I wouldn't do for them. Funny how true love transcends generations.
