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
We love you, Gaylene. You're in our prayers. We'll miss Keith.
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!
