Solveigh,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My heartfelt sorrow and condolences to you and your family.
May God rest his soul.
I am saddened by this loss and wish to express my deepest sympathy to all of Keith’s family and friends who are grieving for him.
I worked a Cursillo weekend with Keith around 2000. I found him to be deeply committed to his faith. May his family and friends find peace in his memory and love.
A former classmate and friend … rest in peace Keith …
Remembering Keith will love, admiration and tears in my eyes. What a fine man, what a fine priest and friend.
Keith was a wonderful friend to have, gentle and full of insight. He painted a prayer for us for our wedding which hangs in our dining room. We remember him with fondness and gratitude.
I so enjoyed knowing and worshipping with Keith for many years. We worked several Cursillos together. I remember him teaching us dances and movement as prayers, singing, and laughing. His talks and sermons were so powerful and inciteful. After many years, I was happy to find him again on FB. I loved his pictures and appreciation of simple moments. Scoot, scoot, Keith. +
So many things I didn’t know about him, but this I knew the moment we met – a beautiful soul, constantly adding to all that is good with this world.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones.
