It is no small thing to live well and make great choices as you two certainly have. We love you all and will remember Keith not only as the great man he is, but how funny and fun. One day all our losses will be made up, our families eternal, and death just a door, but until then we send our love and will keep you in our prayers.

Love, Claar and Family

Gaylene, I haven't been able to do or say much - but we are thinking of you and hoping to be helpful in any way we can. I will forever remember when Keith rescued me after I sewed Annie's finger, was without a car, and was wandering the neighborhood in search of a Dr or a Nurse. He had the neosporin, the bandaids, and the comforting assurance that she was OK -- that's what I needed most! I trust he's now OK, and in good hands. We will miss him, though!

About Me

My photo
Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
