It has been a year since we have lost our beloved father, grandfather, husband, brother and friend. Keith taught us to love the Lord in the face of adversity. Even through suffering, he was concerned more with the suffering of his loved ones than of himself.

May we have peace in knowing that "...to live is Christ, but to die is gain." (Phil. 1:21). He is with the Lord, who has blessed him with rewards in heaven which are far greater than the riches this Earth could ever offer. His lifelong devotion and faith in our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, confirms that he had fought the good fight and completed the course set before him (II Timothy 4:7-8).

We will see him again one day, but for now will cherish every good memory he has left with us. He lives forever in the hearts of his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, brother, sister, numerous nieces and nephews and friends.

As I Sit in Heaven

As I sit in heaven and watch you every day,

I try and let you know with signs; I never went away.

I hear you when you're laughing, and I watch you as you sleep,

I even place my arms around you, to calm you as you weep.

I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home,

I try and send you signs, so you know you're not alone.

Don't feel guilty that you have life, life that was denied to me,

Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see!

So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free,

then I'll know with each breath you take, you'll be taking one for me.
