Our love and sympathies go out to the Keating boys and family. We know your mom was special and had to be strong to manage 4 boys!! She will surely be missed.

Big fan of Mrs. Keating,

I met Mrs. Keating during my first week in high school when I followed one of her son's home after class. 5 years later when I was in pinch with regards to where I might live in London she offered her basement if I was stuck. To say she always made any of the Keating boys friends welcome would be a gross understatement. That said, Brian's influence is likely why growing up we associated the name Keating to mean our teams best player and Irene is why we think of them today as some of our kindest friends.

After hearing the sad news, Norm and I have been reflecting on the many happy years we have known your dear mother and the wonderful times we shared. Our early bridge lessons and monthly games, watching our families grow, many trips to far off places, and in the later years contact at Christmas time. We will miss our friend!

Our sincerest condolences to "her boys" and their families.

Affectionately,
Norman and Karen
