Not sure what to say?

I loved Mrs. Keeter. She was like a second Mom to me and I only just learned of her passing. Such a lady, such a great Mom and wife. I'm so sad but know for certain she went immediately to the warm embrace of our Creator.
May you rest in peace. Thank you forever for the many kindesses you extended to me, an awkward, insecure little girl.

Dear Keeter and Family,
I'm so sorry. God Bless you and yours and keep you in His care.
With much sympathy and love,

Dear Bobbi and all the Family,
Pat and I were truly sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Keeter. Please accept our apology for having missed the funeral.
Even though we didn't see Mrs. Keeter that often, when we did she always asked about about us and our family. During these delightful chats about family , I was always struck by how sincerely proud she was of each of you.
I know you must miss her dearly but we're hoping that all those wonderful memories you share are...

The Keeters were long-time friends of Dixie and Jimmy Wynne and Don and Julia Hyatt and Billy and I always enjoyed seeing them over the years in Newport News. That group of friends really knew how to entertain and enjoy friendship. Tillie was a real lady and a true friend to many. I know you will all miss her terribly. You have our sincere sympathy.

Dear Keeter & your entire extended family - I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know how much you loved her and how much you must miss her now. I also know the pain you feel at this moment is unbearable but it will slowly pass with time and all the wonderful memories of your time here on earth with your mother will slowly ease your breaking heart. Love to you & Rudy and the girls. With all our heartfelt sympathy and love,

Dear Nancy, Just a note to remind you that I sent an email out to your WHS family and some NNHS friends that I keep in touch with who live out of town. I also notified Carol Buckley Harty who sends the webpage for NNHS. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you and family at this time.

Dear Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I'm so glad that we were able to have lunch together last fall and got to reminise about our mothers. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bobbi and family,
There is never an easy time to say good bye to one we so dearly love. Mrs. Keeter was a wonderful woman who raised a great family. Celebrate her goodness as you grieve. May you find comfort in God's love, your family, and your glorious memories.
love, Barbara
