We are very sorry for your loss. We visited Keith several times at Absolute and though he had difficulty hearing us, I think he was happy we were there.

Very sorry for your loss. Our First Baptist Home Communion team was on the way to administer communion to Keith on Monday when we learned of his passing. We have visited him previously. While he was hard of hearing, he was able to participate and recited some of the words with us. Our condolences. (I am chair of the Diaconate at First Baptist). I wanted to attend services, however renovation work began in my home today. God Bless!
