Joan and Family, My prayers are with you as you transition in part of life. Keith was one of a kind and will truly be missed.
Aunt Joan, Eric and family,
Uncle Keith will be missed very much. He was a good man! I didn’t realize he was talented with music and singing as I have not witnessed that part of his life. I’m sure those are wonderful memories that you all will cherish in your hearts and thoughts. Praying for God’s comfort to cover you all including his two sisters, Mary & Betty. Love you all
Dear Joan and family,
We are so saddened by the passing of our dear friend and neighbor. Gerald and Keith were the best of buddies, always enjoyed each other’s company and had so much in common. He will be sorely missed. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.
Dear Joan and Family,
I am truly saddened to hear of your loss. Even though it’s been many years since I’ve seen y’all, I have good and vivid memories of our high school years together. Please accept my sincere condolences. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Sincerely, Brenda Mims Tucker
