Dear Betty and family, we were truly saddened to hear of Keith's death. I'm sorry I didn't get to speak to you when I called but I understand that you need your rest. You have been an inspiration during these years of Keith's battle with cancer. I also truly appreciate your concern for me since my diagnosis last year. You are definitely in our prayers. We love you. God Bless.

Keith brought a lot happiness to all he knew. Though I had moved from Lynchburg 16 years back, he and Betty never left our hearts. A special man has left us but the spirit endures.

Keith, LeRoy and Fox will be missed by me. He would want us to remember and celebrate the times we had with him. I remember the friendship and fatherly advice offerred. I will treasure the memories of the fishing and frog-gigging trips to Evergreen. I will remember fishing at Willow Lake and of course our many excursions to the Rivah. Our great time chasing balls on the golf course will be remembered also. I will miss him greatly, but will fondly remember hima as a great and trusted friend. Having known and been in his company will continue to inspire through the years to come. Bryan

While I no longer live in Lynchburg, I have fond memories of my neighbors in Linkhorne Forest. I remember Keith's hearty laugh and dry humor.
I hope that your happy memories of him will comfort you during the sad moments.
