Words cannot even begin to express the pain I felt when I got the call yesterday morning that my friend & brother had just passed on. I still have his many txt's & voice mails in my phone that I will never erase. I am glad that Stacey & I had been to see him a few times recently & got to see him smile & crack jokes just like we were kids again. I don't even know how to begin to process this deep loss. My heart & prayers go out to everyone that was blessed to have met Keith in their lifetime & been able to call him their friend. A true friend he was to all. God speed my brother may you no longer have to endure the stresses of this world.
