Dear Kathy and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. May you soon find peace, in all your good memories, to face each new day. A link in our family chain is broken, but our chain will link again, as god calls us each back home. Much love from my heart to yours during this difficult time.

I still cant believe he's gone. It seems so much like a dream. I feel like just yesterday he was teaching me how to drive with his van out in the field. We have shared so many good times and he has taught me so many things. But the most important thing is family, nothing comes before your family. You know your my hero and you will always be. I'm glad your pain is over and your in heaven. you will always be in my prayers. i love you and miss you so much grandpa <3

It is still so unreal to me. How much I am going to miss you. How can we just say goodbye to a man that meant so much to all of us? Uncle Keith you will always be in my heart as well as my being. So much has been taken from all of us, but, I am so glad the pain has ended. Rest in peace my loving uncle. Love Always, Tatum
