Kieth was our cousin. A very gentle soul. He used to visit my mom and dad’s house all the time with Uncle Sam and his mom when we lived on Cubbage Hill. The last time I saw him was when my mom died, but we exchange Christmas cards every year. He was always eager to talk about the rivers and I always like hearing his stories. Rest in peace now Kieth, you are in the hands of our Lord.
Always, The Robison family, Sandy and Roy Reed.
