Not sure what to say?

Maryann, our prayers are with you & your family! John was such a great man & a caring person, just like you! I still remember when y´all moved to Lynchburg with J Crew & I called on him on my job. He then wanted me to meet you & we three went out to lunch together. It was obvious that you & his children were his life, as you well know! Always remember seeing the two of you at Kings Dominion many, many years ago & you were holding hands as you walked through that beautiful archway covered w/...

I was fortunate enough to have worked with Mr. Keith at JCrew. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss and may the God who surpasses all understanding give your family peace and comfort.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the entire family in the loss of John. We enjoyed our time in Forest getting to know them. Marvin & Gray Ragland Calabash, North Carolina

I was very sad to hear of John´s passing. We worked together at Crew and I always enjoyed bumping into him around town after retirement. God´s blessings to John´s family and friends. I´m glad I had the opportunity to know this gentle and caring man.

May God comfort you and heal you. Love and prayers Joanne,Billiejo and Todd

I was so saddened to read of John´s death. He was a true southern gentleman who loved God, Maryann, his family, and his friends. It was truly a blessing to be his friend. May God bless his family.
