Dear Donna, Jesse, Danielle,
I send my deepest condolences to you and your family. My time in Newton was full of memories of the Woolery family -- thank you for your gifts of music, theatre, and dance to our shared communities. Keith always had a smile on his face and love of music. He touched many people, and I hope that memories of Keith will comfort you.

I first met Keith and Donna when I was a student at Emporia State Teachers College. Keith taught percussion methods. Through the years I´ve known him as a very caring man who loved his craft and his family. So sorry for your loss. Praying for your family especially Donna!!
