I am the HR person at Belmont Village, and had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Keith. Each time I saw him he had a pleasant smile on his face. I will always remember him when I see the flowers on the dining room tables. He loved to prepare the flowers and decorate the tables with them. You could see the enjoyment on his face. To the family, please know that we will all miss him, and our prayers are with you all.

Mr. Luther gave of his time, his possessions and loved nothing more than helping others. His quick smile, gentle voice and kindness will always be with me. You will live forever in my heart.

As a nurse at Belmont Village, I've had the privilege of taking care of Luther these past few years and it has been a pleasure. He was such a kind, sweet man, and so loved by everyone. I will truly miss seeing his smiling face every morning. Rest in peace my friend.
