On behalf of David's family I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your prayers. It has been a great comfort to us knowing that people from all over were praying for our family. I believe that people praying is what moves the hand of God. And without God, who are we, and how can we go through life without him? Some of us have gone through many years not knowing God, but we can look back and see how He had His hand on us all of the time. Take time to be with or talk to your loved ones while you can. Don't miss an opportunity to draw them near you, and tell them that you love them. None of us knows what tomorrow will hold, we can't know when will be the last time we can tell someone that we love, and care about them. Thank you all for sharing your memories of David with us the night of the wake, it meant so much to us all. So many of you told me of different times that David helped you, and of the good times that you had with him. That same night before the wake, Pastor Mike Davis asked the family to tell him a little about David so that he could get to know David through us. All of us had many things to share, I will just share what was the first things that were in my heart that night. David never met a stranger, he always had a smile on his face, even when there was nothing to smile about. David embraced life, and never let an opportunity to help someone pass him by. Once again, thank you for your prayers, and sharing with us how much David meant to you all. We love and miss you David, and we will never forget you.
Love, The Keith Family
and
Aunt Vivian

Quiet faithfulness can speak volumes to those near us. May God hold you in palm of His hand. There comes a moment each day when we must simply drop everything that weighs on us and hand it over to God. May he be with you in this time of sorrow.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
