Most of my memories of Keith are from when I was very young. It seemed he always had my uncle Bus Flater at his side. I can't forget his smile!

My heartfelt condolences. I pray for peace and comfort to all who loved Keith.

With my deepest sympathy,

So sorry for your loss. Keith was a very kind good person. He worked with my husband Stanley Walton. I fixed lunch for them multiple times. We would always talk when he came to Walmart. I was a cashier there. Prayers for all. He will be missed.

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. This time is never easy, but have faith in God's promise at John 5:28, 29 that all those who have fallen asleep in death have the hope of receiving a "resurrection" back to life. Please find comfort in "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials".(2 Corinthians 1:4) www.JW.org
