Yesterday made it another year without you.. Making it 2. It really hasnt gotten any easier, as Sarah said, we all seem to hold on to the past because thats all we have of you left- memories. Man Keith, you would be so proud of Matthew, he has a job, hes been doing really good in recovery ( a couple slips here and there but nothing to horrible) not to mention your granddaughter! You would be so proud to call her yours. Ugh Sandra and I were saying yesterday.. maybe in 10 years it will get easier.. I doubt it though- because there is nothing any of us can do to get you back here. I love you so much- your one person in my life I dont want to forget- and you made such a impact on my life I never want to forget you.

I saw a business man in mobil today he dressed in usual businessman attire button up collar blue shirt an black dress pants. He didnt look like you at all until I stood behind him in the checkout line. He had that " just got out of the shower" groomed hair. I always remember how your hair looked as you were going out the door for a busy day in avalon. Then he walked by me he had the same fresh out of shower smell you used to have . God I miss that. I am sure everyone has that smell when you get out of the shower but I really miss your" out of the shower " smell. God that sounded dumb right? I got a horse at the barn his name is mr big an he is beautiful . I am working so hard there my waist went from a 32 to a 29 !! Matt just got out today he looks really good. keep your fingers crossed on this one:) Dan has a few videoprojects on the side an just finished another film !!! I love when he films i wish you could see the passion involved with him an film. dustin is a handyman at the barn an starts school in 2 weeks. Emily has 2 months to go an your lil grandaughter will be here! somedays Im thrilled about it an somedays when everyone is sleeping i sneak into the " nursery of dreams" an shed a few tears. Iam not mad Emily is pregnant I am simply mad that I am not. It might be a good thing for the moment though.... I gotta work on kicking a few things ( again ) before we pursue the IVF route in a more indepth manor. Plus things are hard to kick when the sadness penetrates into everything I do. I wish I could escape the pain of losing you. Plus I really think my calling in life is animals I am coming to terms with it more an more eachday. So thats where I am at right now..... I know I sound really healthy an on the right track hahaha! OH! I got a tattoo on the back of my neck from dustin of course. it is a golfball with your name an your score 67 from stoneybrook golfcourse I hope you like it. It just seems we all cannot move on !! Mom is no better than the day you left thats no secret. I get pissed when people ask how she is an then I tell them that shes freaking miserable without you an they say" still ? " I would love to respond with a few words of my own! yet I do not I just politely smile an say yup! Paul an Christina were here for the fourth actually they are here alot . they have been around through thick an thin . The love they have for mom is so sweet I wish I could say that for others:( It is what it is thiough..... Well I have rambled on an had this little pitty party for too long HAHA! Love you an take care up there with DJ an Grandpa. I love you !

Its been so long since I've looked at this page, but not as long since I've cried about loosing you. Sarah added it to my favorites today! So now she wont be the only one writing you! We miss you so much and they say as time goes on it will get easier, but this year seems almost harder then last. Me and Matty are having a baby girl, I remember the last night you were here with us, and you played with Aiden for hours, then looked up at me and said- "I finally get it Em, I get what is so great about being a papa" Although Aiden is young, he talks about his papa Keith all the time. This little girl will know all about her papa that she wont be able to meet. I know your looking down on all of us, so proud of everyone for pulling together. You were here for me when no one else understood. Your the BEST dad, to your kids, and even to those who dont belong to you. You'll always be in the front of our minds, and will never be forgotten. We love you Keith!

I started my second job today. I am a vet tech/ stable girl in a barn. I really wish you were here to pat me on the back an tell me you are proud.... god I miss that. I would give anything for 1 more day with you. I came home today an wanted to tell you so badly about my day ruffing it at the barn. I wish you were here to talk too..I barely talk to anyone in avalon anymore.... except for Millenium Joe. he reminds me an mom of you at times. he always makes us feel loved. I wish there was more people like him. dan is working hard at DTS an emily is about to burst she has 4 months to go. congrats you are the proud grandfather of a baby girl. if i said i wasnt green with envy that would be a lie:) dustin is fixing your yard up pretty nicely! I hope you like it! if moms not crying then I am . Please please dont let me forget anything about you please I want it to stay fresh in my head forever I am so scared I will forget one little thing!!! It already seems like i dont have enough memories as it is :( I love u!!! enough of me bantering on about my sadness for today. hope you an dj are having a grand time in heavens dogpark!

it has been over a month since I have written. Please make it stop hurting! Please we can't do this. I am tired of my brave face it is fake. Truth is I am not brave at all. Things are not as sturdy as they seem. If you were here none of any of this would be happening. I miss you an D.J so much it hurts . I want this to stop now !

sarah

April 13, 2008

My heart aches more and more each day for you to be here. I am sorry but time hasn't seemed to do much healing. I miss your guidence an support an overall ability to never judge. so many things are going on in our lives. dan an I start the IVF treatments this month. I am sure that is gonna be a rollercoaster ride. hopefully by the end of the year we will have a grandchild for you. things just arent that funny anymore we seem to smile less and less eachday. i wish you would send me a sign that you are watching over us. things are so complicated I wish you were here to guide us all down the right paths.

March 5, 2008

Good morning! A few days ago it was the anniversary of your passing. It was a very hard day. mom tried to put on a brave face but i saw the sadness seep through. we went out to dinner with matt, emily, mom, me , dan , pj an christina an all there little ones. we didnt talk to anyone in avalon that much except for our dear joe stout, lisa an ross. i moved into a townhome. so many issues with our old apartment an the apartment office. so much has changed in a year. some of your friends an family arent around anymore:( that is life though I guess.... people are here one day an gone the next. how is dj? I am sure there is a dog park in heaven! we are still trying for a baby with this new procedure we might end up with two or three. although if you ask us we are just praying for one happy healthy girl. but if god gives us multiples then thats what we are blessed with. I cant wait to teach our children about the best grandpa in the world! they will know you very well do not worry:) we miss you dearly they say the pain starts to lessen as time goes by.. funny because it has been a year an it still hurts like it happened yesterday. i love you dad!

I am so sorry to know Dj passed, but I am comforted to know he is now with you Keith. You are missed by so many. The presence of your spirit in this town is forever strong. You are forever a part of us.

February 8, 2008

I know you are walking dj in heaven. I like to believe he is with you now

sarah

February 7, 2008

Well this is hard for me to write. Yet I hope that you an your dog Dj have been reunited in heaven. I miss you both so much it is so hard to handle. everything is just diffrent now... Dj passed away 11 months to the day you passed. I guess you needed him more than we did. Afterall he was your best friend. Thinking you two are together is the only thing that keeps us going. i love you

October 30, 2007

good morning!
Mom an I just got back from California. We went to this body cleansing detox center. Not the easiest thing i have ever done. Mom said I would thank her in the end... and I did. She has a habit of always being right in the end. We cried alot there though. you would think that after 242 days 5 hours an 9 min of you being gone the tears might retreat for a little bit. yet that is not the case. Please do not let me forget every memory I have of you. I feel like i do not have enough of them as it is. things are happening an changing so quickly here that I do not want to live in this community anymore. I thought staying here would help preserve memories of you. That is not the case though pieces of you seem to be taken away every day from this town. Part of me gets that., ya know! I know people an places have to keep on going, moving forward, living theier lives. the other part of me doesnt get that! this place that you loved an called home where everyone knew your name an face is rapidly changing an in 2 years there will only be a handful that really knew you. I just cant stay here an watch that happen. I know i have to accept your passing but i can do it somewhere else. I believe that you read these ramblings i put on here. I saw a show the other night this lady who talks to the dead told this one woman that her friend ( who was killed in a motorcycle accident ) reads every letter she writes to him on his dedication website. that made me feel better.
Spooktacular was the other day. aiden was a firefighter an i was dorothy. it was really rainy though so it wasnt that fun. The holidays are coming. matt will be away as will mom for thanksgiving. it is probably good for her. dan an i are creating a healthy organic holiday dinner. You always were the spirit in our holidays this year should be hard to say the least. Mom is finally getting what she always wanted from me an matt this christmas. I am sure you know what that is so I am not gonna say it. too bad you arent here to see it. give me strength though this is probably the hardest thing i have done! it does not feel complete without you i do not think it ever will. well enough rambles for now. happy halloween!!

sarah

September 25, 2007

I sang happy birthday on your voicemail today. i figured i have done so for 11 years so why stop now. the only thing diffrent is you wont be calling me to tell me how much you loved it, when i thought of that I cried so much that I threw up . the thought of not having you around twists my stomach in unimaginable ways.I just wonder when that time healing all wounds phrase will take effect.
I baked cookies for you on your birthday today mom an em went to the movies in honor of you an we all had a sip of champagne. we even poored a glass for you an left it on th porch with one cigarette an a lighter. hope you liked it. i love you !

So it is me again! I wanted to share something with you. Dan an I have a VHS copy of our wedding, an we absolutely can't stand the video. We don't like watching ourselves all awkward an nervous getting ready to embark on the journey of marriage. Then it dawned on me the other night lying in bed. You! you are in that video!!! You are smiling an hugging an walking me down that isle. you give me away, your eyes tear up. See in that video you live. So in an instant a video tape that i couldn't stand becomes my most prize possesion. Everyone told me at the funeral that you were proud of me an all your children. Honestly i thought " yeah that is just something you say to make people feel better when a loved one dies " yet watching that video for the 100th time last night i saw it.... that look you have walking me down the isle it is the look of a proud father. I see it now. Hearing it is one thing but seeing it is a whole other ball game. Everyone has that one outstanding moment with you, well that one is mine.
I go to have surgery tomorrow please watch over me.I just don't want anything bad to happen. After this surgery we start the fertility ovulation cycles. The doctor says by december we should be pregnant. You will finally get that granchild you told me you were ready for. Don't worry we will tell him/her all about Grandpa Keith. He/She will know you in every way possible. OH We went to mexico last week! Mom would have had more fun if you were there. We kept getting in really obnoxious cheesy situations. if you were there you could have made her laugh an not get so irritated. I have my necklace of you an every time we rode by an awesome golf course I held it up so you could see it. You always said you would take me to see the tropical blue water an in a way I know you were there. I love you. I am not gonna lie an say it is better but I will tell you I am getting better at coping with all this.

August 24, 2007

hey it is me again :0) I wanted to tell you I miss you dearly. I wanted to ask you a question... Can you watch over Gary for us ? I need you to make sure he is ok. The thing is Gary an Renate are part of the reason we as a family are picking up the pieces. I don't want them to hurt. When you passed away Gary an Renate were around allot. At times it would be to much to deal with. I would glance at gary an his eyes ( although filled with sadness fom you leaving ) seemed to tell me it was okay. Just like you used to do. So if you could watch over him an his family it would put me at ease. I love you!

Happy fouth! Avalon had their usual patriotic event. Everybody was there for us with smilling faces helping us go on.When the fireworks started mom an D.J an I watched them from your porch. I had to leave due to those pesky mosquitos! As I walked down the street towards the tavern. I stopped a while to watch the fireworks with joe D. his wife an gary an renate. Renate hugged me close as we watched the fireworks above my building. In that moment despite the tears I felt okay. I felt okay because I felt you there with us. So in closing for today I want to say Happy fourth keith! Losing you still effects us in ways I cannot explain, ways that are diffrent for each one of us. The friends you had help us in ways you could only imagine. Without you we are broken yet with them we rebuild. I love you

Lisa

May 25, 2007

Moving on doesn't mean forgetting. I wish you could give us a sign, anything to ease our pain, especially your wife's. Life goes on but you live in our hearts. Not a day goes by that Ross and I don't think about, dream about or talk about you. I changed my mind about when someone passes and we grieve for our pain. I believe we grieve for the one who passed, that they aren't here to share life with us on this earth. I know you are sharing life with us in spirit but I'm selfish and wish you were here.
We love you Keith and miss you so very much.

74 days 8hrs an 13 mins.
Yeah it is still getting harder before it gets better I guess. Well I have gone out to dinner an the movies more times than I can count. An you know that is way more than I would like too :0) but I know you would want me an dan to go with mom an do that sort of stuff.I'm not gonna lie I don't walk D.J as much as I should. Part of me still thinks you are gonna come home at 5:30pm an do it! Jaimie moved in an I am starting to go back to work. Time is pushing on an yet not pushing on at all. things are moving yet standing still. It is an odd thing living without the " life" of our family. you would tell me " things will get better sweetie" so I just have to believe that. I love you!!

It has been almost 3 weeks since I lost you,the love of my life,it still doesnt seem real.I dont think I ever want it to seem real. I didnt know someone could hurt so much,cry so much. Thank you for yesterday. I will miss you every day for as long as I have left here, and I know we will be together then.

Dear Family of Keith Ewing, I only knew Keith for a short time as he was trying to rehab his elbow. I felt then that he was a special guy and he gave me such good advice about learning disabilities.I was shocked and saddened to read of his untimely death. He made an impression on me in the short time that I knew him of being a great husband, dad, employee and friend. God's peace to his family.

Lisa

March 18, 2007

Yesterday we went to St.Augustine and Raven said, "We should take Sandra here - I bet she would like it!". And that's what we are going to do Keith - help Sandra be happy. We can't take your place but we will make your family laugh as much as possible and be happy. You would want that I know.
You are so missed Keese! Ross and I think about you and talk about our good times with you everyday.
You are so loved and missed.

Keith, you are so missed. It is so painful. It still doesn't seem real. We had so many more fun times to look forward to and remember - we were going to Austin soon. It was too soon Keith, too damn soon. We are so sad. Love you always, Lisa and Ross

Jaimie Waybill

March 12, 2007

Keith you were taken from us too soon. But, When I think of Keith I think of his smile. How many stories do we all have of Keith that end with a laugh? What an amazing gift to give. Also you can't think of him without thinking of all of the joy he brought to everyone he knew and how much he cared for and loved his family. He made friends where ever he went and has touched all of our lives. I'm a better person today to have known Keith. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

March 9, 2007

Keith is always in our hearts. He could pick anyone up when they were down. He made the biggest impact on my life. Save me a seat, because I always saved you one.

sarah hunter

March 8, 2007

When my mom first started dating you I had no idea you would impact every aspect of my life. You taught us all how to laugh in every situation. you taught me to love keith. I am so mad. I am so angry. I know that is not what you would want. I cannot help it. I mean my dad is gone. Our light, our rock, our keeper of the peace. I promise you I will be here for my mom. I will go to the movies with her, I will go to longhorn on the weekends. I will make it a point to listen to people an find the good in them. You made me a better person without you I wouldn't be half the woman I am today. We can do this right? I know you are always beside me saying " It will be okay sweetie, we'll get through this" so some final words for now " your my boy blue! your'e my boy!

I think Kierkegaard said it best: “The most painful state of being is remembering the future - particularly the one you can never have.”

Our prayers are with Keith's Dad, especially, as we hold him dear here in Sarasota.

It was truly a pleasure knowing Keith for the past 4 years. I will always remember him as kind and gentle, a man of dignity and strength.

Keith, I can't believe I'm writing good-bye. Thanks! Thanks for your help, your support, and thanks for caring. I will miss seeing you. I pray that the Peace of God Blesses you and your family.

It's been many years since we knew Keith as a neighbor and friend in Temple Terrace, but we will always remember him as a good-hearted, generous person who adored his kids. We had the privilege of attending his house-warming party in Orlando and meeting his wife. He seemed very happy and proud. We are shocked and saddened by his passing and our prayers go out to all of his family.

Joe Stout

March 6, 2007

We are truly blessed to have known Keith - Next door neighbor, Fellow Florida Hospital Foundation board member, Mentor, Devoted father, Loving husband, and of course dog lover. I will always remember our talks, sitting on the front porch.
Or holding the flash light, so I would not have to finish the brick pavers in the dark. Getting me involved with the Florida Hospital Foundation. Racing to see who could sell the most tickets for the 4th of July jet ski give away (you won).
Waving at me from your couch as I drove through the alley at night. You had a way of making everyone feel special. I am a better person because of you. I am truly thankful for you and your family. God bless you and much love. Joe Stout and Family

To the Ewing Family
My heart is so heavy with saddness since I learned the passing of your Keith. Though I didn't know him well, I know he and my Jeff were good friends at home and at FSU. I feel the sorrow, hurt and emptiness you are experiencing, because deep into the depths of my heart, I know. My love, thoughts and sympathies are with you now and will be as you travel through the greiving process. Reading the prayers and thoughts from friends and co-workers, I wish I could have known Keith better. Well, Keith and Jeff will meet again-maybe on the golf course.
Please take good care of yourselves and know my heart is with you all. Love, Debbie Andrick

Rich and Sara Demko

We are blessed to have known Keith - a giving and thoughtful friend, loving father and devoted husband. This world will miss you deeply and heaven rejoices in your home-coming. We are praying for Sandra and for Keith's children - that they experience the peace of Christ and the warmth of friends and family.

We last ran into Keith at Charley's steakhouse having dinner with his family - laughing, eating, happy. His happiness will never end and heaven's celebration is just beginning. He will laugh forever there with family and friends. God bless you and much love,
Rich and Sara

We are so saddened to hear of Keith's sudden passing. Please know our heartfelt condolences are with his family and friends. Keith was such an extraordinary guy and will be missed. May you find comfort in the special memories you shared.

Keith told me just Tuesday that he was having so much fun - with his family, Sandra, his daughters and sons, Beat and his Avalon Park Family. We bumped into literally every 2nd person on the street and at dinner who all loved Keith. He was clearly at his best and having the time of his life. You are a special man - in friendship and in business. I will always remember you, and I will never forget your zest for life. I and we all should take your lesson - cheers my friend.

Ewing Family,

Words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling. It was an honor to have worked for Keith. I keep hearing his voice "Hi Sweetie"
Keith was a good soul, kind hearted, and so full of life. God blessed you when He put Keith in your life as a husband, father, and friend. May Keith continue to watch over you.....

Love your friends,

Keith,

It is difficult to find the words that could express how so many of us feel right now. Above all, we know you are in His warm hands and at peace.

Keith, my friend, your short life on this earth was a full life. You did so much for so many people and often when they did not even ask. To us you leave a legacy of friendship and its true meaning and I know your family will continue feeling your undying love forever.

My family joins me in wishing yours all the love and warmth they will need as they try to go on without you. I feel, however, you will be watching over all of us, as you always did.

Dearest Kristi, Keith, and Katie

I cannot imagine what you are feeling now. You dad was a wonderful person, and I often think of the times your family was at our house on Dumont Court. My prayer for you is that God will instill the strength that you need to help you through this horrible tragedy.

May God Bless You! Cathy Readinger
