Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Keith. My sympathies to the Haubenstricker family. It has been fun seeing many of his Facebook posts over the past couple of years and I'll miss those. Keith was my second cousin, but our families shared more than that. I remember one morning with my dad and grandpa going over to check out the "Arbela farm" after a night of storms and noticed things didn't seem quite right over at the Haubenstricker Dairy Farm not far away, so we drove over to check things out. ...

Barb,
I was saddened to learn of Keith's passing plus learning that he had brain cancer. He certainly had health struggles during his life.
After I retired, there were certain patients I would think about from time to time and wonder how they were. They were the people who I had truly enjoyed talking to and getting to know. Keith was one of those people. He took this diehard city girl and taught her whatever he could about farm animals, crops and the land he so faithfully...

Sympathies to the family.

Thoughts and prayers for your family

Keith's Family:
I remember Keith's father Robert from the grade ahead of me in St. Lorenz Lutheran School, especially in Teacher's Hahn's room where he and his cousin Eldon answered most of the questions asked in class. Smart ancestors they were. May the Lord Jesus comfort your family with His promise of everlasting life for all who have faith in Him.
