    Had a great time growing up around Keith and Cori. Jennings was a great place to be a kid! Keith will be missed, always sad when we lose another person we grew up with.

    We only met you once for lunch, but Nick and I so enjoyed getting to know you. I kept telling Cindy that I wanted to meet you and am so glad we did. It was hard even then to see you struggling with your breathing. I am 100% confident that you are in heaven now and breathing just fine. Thank you for all the happiness you gave to Cindy. I am so glad that she was there with you when you really needed a special, caring, and faithful companion.

    I’m so sorry I never got to meet Keith. I do know that my sister Cindy was so much happier being with him than I had seen her in a long time. Rest in heaven Keith where you can finally breathe easily and be at peace with no more struggles.
