How do I begin to tell you about my sweet son. He was the greatest son,
brother and father a family could have. He was killed by a hit and run
driver walking across the street. They still havent found the person that hit
him. He was my middle son and he got married three years ago to a beautiful
girl we love dearly. He has two children a girl and a boy he never got to see
he was born four months after he got killed.
Keith was a very special person he loved life and lived it to the fullest. He
had so many friends and he always looked for the good in everyone. At the
funeral his friends told me they wish they had a relationship with there Mom
as Keith had with me. He was one of the most honest and unselfish person I
have ever known. He was always giving to his friends whatever they needed at
the time. He was a very private person but, he loved the Lord and wanted to
start taking his new family to Church.
He was a Master Mechanic and he paid his way through school because he said
he would do better that way. His employer told us Keith worked as hard as
three men and he loved his work.
Keith's family was the most important thing in his life. He always dreamed of
the day he could have children. Now he has two beautiful children and it
hurts my heart to know that they wont know how much he loved them. I will
tell them thats for sure but, its still not the same.
Our life will never be the same again. Keith was the one that keep everyone
together not matter what happened in our family. He will forever be in our
thoughts and heart for ever and ever until we all meet again in Heaven. I
could go on and on about Keith but, there is more to look at on this site.
Please, enjoy this site as much as we enjoyed Keith in our lifes.
"I will not drag you along; I will not leave you alone; I will stand by
you and have my hand there for you to hold when you need to."

Hello everyone, I lost my dearest son Keith on November 22, 1998. I was in so much pain to say the least. I kept praying to God, for a dream about my son to let me know he's alright. Well, two months after his death I had a dream. He looked so perfect in the dream, he told me that he was great and happy.
Oh, I forgot the day I found out that he was killed. I opened up the Bible and the first verse the Lord gave me was I John 3 and then John 3:16. The Lord has given me many verses since, to help me with my grief and when I pray for help.
On Mother's Day I was thinking of my son . I was all alone and I heard Keith's voice, so clear, saying "Hi mom, Happy Mother's Day. I knew it was him, I felt such peace after that. Good things have came from the Lord. So many things have happened, I know they are from the Holy Spirit and I hope I don't bore you. But...
My daughter was in the grocery store and feeling real sad. When she picked up a book and opened it to any page. On that page it said "Your brother is in Heaven and very happy." Then on her birthday, before she went to bed, she went outside and prayed that Keith would tell her Happy Birthday. Then at that second, she saw a shooting star. She had only seen one before the day of Keith's funeral.
I truly believe that the Holy Spirit is comforting us in many ways. Maybe, some people will think I am crazy but, I do believe that comfort and peace comes from the Lord. If you believe in your heart and are open for the signs of the Holy Spirit, they will be sent to you, and you too will also be comforted.
God Bless Everyone

I wish I could talk to you. I wish I could hear your vocie, see your face,
hear your goofy laugh. I wish we had spent more time together I think about
you everyday you know Mom and Dad are really taking your leaving hard. They
fight all the time and Dad wont talk about his feelings. You know Mom how
emotional she is she is taking it the hardest. They are so angry that you
left so suddenly and so young. I was mad too for awhile but, I know you didnt
choose to leave, its wasnt up to you. I dont know why God allowed this to
happen but, I trust he knows what he is doing. It doesnt make me wonder any
less or miss you any less.
Beth seems to doing ok, but I wonder how she really feels I dont feel like I
know her will enough to ask. Alot of people are with her alot though. You
know Brittany is getting big. Did you hear her calling you awhile ago. Maybe
she heard you first. You know how senitive kids are to spiritual things. Your
son Frankie is beautiful and I'm sure you saw him before we did.
I hope you dont mind that I want those flowers to stay on Telegraph I want
people to know that your earthly life ended in that spot. I dont want people
to forget. I dont want to forget how you look and your voice sounds.
The Lord has told me that you are with him in Heaven and that you gave your
eathly life for John. Not too many people would do that.
I admire you Keith and i mss you alot. I cant wait to see you again. On this
earth it seems so long but for you it will probably feel like you just got
there.
How lucky you are to be there, instead of here. There are times I wish I was
there too. But apparently my time here isnt finished. When it is I want you
to meet me at the gate OK? YOU PROMISE? alright until then bye. Love
