I love you Mama. I miss your voice calling my name. I miss your sweet smile and your hands touching my cheek. I miss knowing that a heart like yours is beating to love your neighbors as the Bible says to do. I will miss you forever and I will love you longer.
Mom.. I love you so very much and it will be hard not see you, hearing you, and hugging you daily. I could never have asked for a better mother! You loved me unconditionally, you took me to church, you prayed over me, for me, and lived a life placing Jesus first in all you did. I know you are smiling and Praise Him!
Momma Keel – You were the most selfless and caring woman I have ever met. You always made me feel like I was part of your family. You consistently checked on me when I was going through my heart surgery or even when I was just feeling down. It’s like you just knew the right time to reach out. I’ll especially miss your “Hi Darlin’” with a wink. You’ll be remembered by our family forever and forever missed.
Love Bobby
I will miss her smile and the twinkle in her eye when she is being mischievous. Love that lady.
Aunt Sandra we’ll miss you, but heaven’s rejoicing in your presence there. Thank you Uncle Ronnie and Regina for bringing her here so often to see her sister and family, we always had such great times. Lord Jesus, keep the Keel family covered in Your Love and give them strength and comfort. Love you all.
I love you and your sweet, beautiful heart. I have so many beautiful memories of our Family because of you. God Bless and keep us all till The Trumpet blows.
She was a beautiful soul. Her smile lit up a room and she always made me smile in return. She was the kind of person you enjoyed being around. I’m glad I had a chance to know her.
My Deepest sympathy. Prayers to you Ron, and the family.
