To the family of Keith Wallace,

As kids we were neighbors, yes this was a long time ago, we moved and I think I saw Terri once after that. Even though we have not seen the family since we moved, we are still sadden to hear about the death of Keith. I had an Aunt (Gloria Wood) in Jacksonville pass and funeralized on Saturday Dec. 30 and was looking for her obituary today Jan. 3rd and saw Keith's name and recognized the photo of him. I contacted my family members who knew the Wallace family to share this with them and my family thought that we should not let this time pass without giving you our sympathy.

May God bless and keep you during this time.

To the Family I express my deepest sympathies. Keith is my friend,and I will miss him but, not as much as "Mr. Wallace, Kieona, and Madison. I've never met anyone with a kinder soul than Keith. He was a good man. Keith was the best husband, father, and friend. I will miss our talks, his smile and laughter. God Bless
