Ann,
Keith meant so much to so many. I have only fond memories of him. I can't say how sad I am for you and your family. I just can't express it. I am praying for you and will continue to do so.
You are such a wonderfully strong woman.
Love,
Lynda

Angelique,
We were stunned & so saddened to hear of Keith's passing. You both have been part of that 20% crowd that does 80% of the work for our community. I just wish that we had the words to soothe some of you & your family's pain. You have been such a strong person and a great role model throughout Keith's suffering. Please let us know what we can do, even if its just to be a good listener. There are so many families that "lead quiet lives of desperation" but know that there are so many that care for you. Over the next month, we will include Keith and your family in our prayers as well as commit to a daily rosary.

Angelique,
I can understand your pain. Please know you can contact me any time - to talk, to scream, to cry. I'm so very sorry I did not call immediately. I didn't get the message. Know that he is no longer in pain. I promise, your pain will get easier with the passage of time, although I don't know if it will ever go away. It's been 7 1/2 years for me, and still there, although not as unbearable as it once felt. Keith tried to handle his pain on his own. Please don't try to handle this pain on your own. There are many people who are here for you. Let us help.
