Dear Keith's family,

I have often wondered about Keith over the years since my father died. He has been gone since 1985. He worked with Keith for many years at Garrett Freight Lines, his name was Arden Green. They were very good friends and traveled a lot together. I have been to Keith & Gwen's house many times when I was young, eaten at their table and always liked & admired them. I'll bet my Dad is having a good visit with Keith right now. I know you will miss him as I do my own father. May the Lord's comforting spirit be with you during this time of sorrow.
