Not sure what to say?

Dear Mrs. Keith and Family,

It was such a priviledge to have been a student of both Mr. Keith and you. It was always clear that you were both there for the purpose to inspire us to learn and help us truly understand our lessons. Numbers are less pliable than words, so math was more difficult for me than English, but Mr. Keith always understood that I was working very hard to do well in his advanced math classes. He took the time to go through every problem on our tests to give...

Janet,

You and your family are in our hearts and prayers. We often recall the wonderful memories we have of you and DJ opening your hearts and home to us and of the wonderful time we had showing DJ and Kevin some of our beautiful state. It is those memories that warm our hearts during this time of sadness and grief.

Loving you always,
Bob and Roxie

Dear Janet and Family,
I had so meant to try to visit you since moving back to Floyd, and I just haven't gotten there yet. I loved DJ, he was an amazing and inspiring man and very few days pass that I don't think of him or you in some way. Usually one of his DJisms will pop in my head for some reason. I had wanted to attend the viewing, but work kept me away. My love to you and all of your family.

Mrs. Keith and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Mr. Keith was a wonderful man who touched so many people's hearts and minds. He will be greatly missed by all. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

May there be peace in knowing that DJ left strength and integrity in abundance, not only in his family, but the hundreds of students he taught and mentored. He is likely working with
the Lord to prepare a farm in the sky that will one day be your family ranch forever. Much love, Bill, Jerry & Judy Bryant and Family

Janet and Family,

I have the fondest memories of DJ as he taught across the hall from me while I was at FCHS. He was well-respected and was a man of integrity. He held his students to that same standard and they are thankful for it. The Lord will remain by your side and may He bring comfort and rest to you.

David & Amy Blaha and family

Dearest Keith Family,
Our sincere condolences to each of you in the loss of your dear loved one. May God wrap his loving arms around you all and provide comfort and piece during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mrs. Keith & Family,

I send my condolences and best wishes to you. DJ was the best teacher that I ever had. I also remember the very cold classroom! - and how excited he was to teach. My best memory of DJ is him teaching me how to drive. What a great time that was. My thoughts are with you and your entire family.

Janet and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. DJ was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful man.
God Bless you all.
Love,
