Today was difficult, but I felt so blessed to be there with all of you. You could feel the love for a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. You were truly blessed. There are so many who never experience such a beautiful love. You may feel you've been left with an empty hole, but it's not empty, it's full of amazing memories that you will carry with you always. All my love.

A special thank you to "Grandpa" Keil for his years of support of Anthony Wayne wrestling. He spent countless weekends driving kids all over the place so they had an opportunity to compete in the sport of wrestling. Whether it was practice or a tournament, you could always count on Grandpa Keil. You will be greatly missed...THANK YOU for everything! Go Generals!
