I was sad I was not able to attend. He was a very special man in his own right and he chose the most wonderful woman as his life partner. My life has been uplifted by your family. I am grateful his suffering is past. I now pray Aunt Helen you feel all the love around you. May you feel God's presence everyday. I Love and Miss You lot's

I wanted to send my love and deepest sympathies to Grandma and the entire Keller and extended family. May you find comfort in each other's love and keep Grandpa alive through memories and stories and prayers. He is at peace now with my "Play Momma"(Helen), Auntie Babes, and Uncle Pat. He was a very kind man, who will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies to Grandma and the entire Keller family for the loss of a wonderful man whom I came to know as “Grandpa.” Grandpa was a true gentleman; his heart was filled with love. All who knew him will miss his warm smile and gentle touch. May he rest in peace and enjoy, forever, the company of Ma, Auntie Babes, and Uncle Pat.



All our love,
