Heather, Ann, and Marla,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. Keith and I were in the doctoral program at USM and became very good friends. Over the years we lost touch with each other and today when I came across a correspondence I searched on the internet and found the sad news that Keith had passed this last year. He shared a great deal about you all and was very proud of his girls. His friendship and guidance will always be remembered and treasured. May God give you peace and strength in the loss of your father.

So sorry for your loss. It wont be the same not hearing Keith say "it must be Monday" when I come in to clean his room. My reply would be "Alexa play star spangled banner" which he requested. Thanks Keith for the memories!
