Being called a special cousin is such a great honor. Iโm so thankful. Certainly Keith was a special cousin to me, as were his sisters, Paula and Marsha. They shall remain in my most precious memories, together with my sister, Linda. We grew up more like siblings than cousins. Much love and many prayers for the family that remains (wife, children, grandchildren and a great grandchild. ) May God bless and comfort you as you walk through this valley. Remember, we do have hope and can see them again if we know Jesus. In Him is our salvation, comfort and peace. Love you all. โค๏ธ๐๐ปโ๏ธ

My friend/cousin, you are missed and loved. I have sweet memories of us playing in the gullies of Carroll county where we grew up two hills apart. You were always so smart in school and I was so pleasantly surprised when you asked me to help you study chemistry. That did worlds of good for my self esteem! We aced that chemistry too, thanks in part to our great chemistry teacher, ms Linda Herbert.
