I learned from Keith's family what a truly helpful and humble man Keith was to so many people, never wanting credit for the big and little things he did for others. His family is so loving and caring, a tribute to both Myrtle and Keith's love for family members and each other. The legacy of love they have created for their family can be seen in how much the younger generations care and love them. Autumn Rose, like an angel, has such sensitive love and musical talents. Surely, Keith will be watching over each and every one of you. I am so sorry I will not be able to come to the Memorial Service tomorrow because it is my Grandson's tenth birthday. Please know you are in my heart and prayers. Betsy Ewalt, Hospice Chaplain
