Donna and Family so sorry to hear the passing of Keith my thoughts and prayers go out to you
- Tony Schnurrnew keith for lot of years was a good person
- robert akinsTo Donna and all of Keith's family I would like to share my prayers with you as you begin to adjust to the passing of Keith. He was a great friend to The Salvation Army in Hanover and a man of strong faith as he served in so many ways. I appreciated his support to me when I was his Pastor for 9 nine years. His support to the Family Services and guidance on property issues was so amazing, you can tell he enjoyed serving others. I know his Lord has accepted him with a joy and is now experiencing his inheritance that Peter talks about in his first letter. My prayers and love are with you as you prepare his celebration of life, which is indeed an amazing life to celebrate. Blessings, Major Sterling
