Dear Velvet, Jamie, Trish, Thomas, and Aerna. We are saddened to hear of your loss. But we rejoice in the certain hope that Keith had in our Savior. Keith's humor and love are not forgotten. He loved to have fun. We remember how he shared his gifts at a high school talent show and how he helped us in an improvement project by using his carpentry skills in our home. Velvet and Jamie, you and Keith are among the fondest memories of our past. Those memories are a wonderful comfort and blessing to us. May the Lord bless and keep you all in this time of sorrow and reflection. Love always...
