Not sure what to say?

Kay, I was so sorry to hear that your husband passed away. Please accept my deepest sympathies for you and your family at this most difficult time.

Dearest Wendy Jo, I got your message and am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I have very fond memories of our younger days hanging out with him. Especially fun times were had at the lake! I have been trying to contact you. I can't seem to find your number and my email addresses for you are not working. Please call me back again and this time leave a number where I can reach you. Or you can email me and leave me the time and address for Sunday. I have plans but will try to come by.

My sincerest sympathy to Kay and all members of Keith’s family. I know he was always telling me how proud he was of, and how much he cared for, his children and grandchildren, as well his brother and his family. I can remember times over the years where our paths wouldn't have a chance to cross because he was back in Utah assisting with his late mother.
Keith was a very special brother-in-law to me. His ability to see the basic good in nearly everyone (and his always on the money...

I had the pleasure of knowing Keith and Kay when they came in to make travel arrangements at Sundance Travel. Kay, I'm so sorry for your loss. Keith was a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

To the Family of Keith,

Although I really don’t know you, except for Arvil, I did know Keith. Because of the type of man I knew Keith to be, I am sure that he leaves a big loss in the hearts of each of you. My sincere sympathy goes to all of you.
My memories of Keith go back to our days growing up in Kenilworth. I am 16 months older than he was and a grade ahead in school but in a small town, those few months didn’t make much difference for friends. Playing in and on the...

Kay, Kurt, Wendy and family... we are sad Keith is gone, but are grateful for the moments we had with him.

Keith was such a comfort to me when Tony Marinello passed. I was so sad to hear about Keith. I know he is still looking over all those he loved. I will always smile when I think of him.

Kay, I had lost track of you and Keith after you left Phoenix. I just learned today about Keith's passing and was very saddened. He was first my boss, and then my colleague. He became a good friend and was a great guy.

Kay, Wendy, Kurt, Stacy, Ryan, Max, and Rylee,
We are sorry for your loss of Keith as a husband, father, and grandfather and friend. Even though we didn’t get to spend much time with Keith, if we were asked to describe Keith in one word, that word would be “Joy”. Everytime we saw him that expression of “joy” was always there shining from his face. You are all blessed to have lived with the joyfulness that Keith lived his life.
