DiMeola and Lynch Family- I just found out about Keith's passing. I am so sorry for your overwhelming loss. I was so shocked and thought it couldn't be Cathy's brother, but as I read on, my disbelief was confirmed. My heart and prayers go out to all of you and may you find comfort and peace in your happy and wonderful memories of Keith.

Antionette and Family... I read about what happened online. I'm so sorry for your loss. Keith was such a good person. I remember how he was kind of intimidating when I would babysit for Little Keith and Tiffany. I can not express how saddened I am for your entire family. Living across the street from y'all for years..you were always there for my family..I'm just sorry I couldn't be there for you and yours. I'm still in total shock..like it's not real. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
