I first met Keith on the Island of Ilo Ilo in the Phillipines in 1989. I was honored to call him a friend ever since. I had the priviledge of being on numerouse programs, family camps etc.with him. How I appreciate and love Keith and Dorothy. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his illness and rapid decline. Praise the Lord the he is now whole. What a Mighty God we serve! Kevin Yeager

To the family.....There are times that
words do not express just how we feel
but want you to know that you are in
our thoughts and prayers and we love you.
May God be with you each day as you adjust to not having Keith around ....
The Lord does help you and keep you
and will give you the stamina that is
needed to get through this time of
loss. Our love to you all...
Carolyn Carr and family.
