These were the good holidays when everybody was together and happy.  As I said, the healthy granny was the glue for this family. This generation is very different than the older generation.  I carry all those lessons learned and stories told and beautiful memories in my heart until the day I can see them all again

I came to see her in Miami after the dementia worsened but she had a moment of lucidity and remembered me

We thank God for the long life that he gave you. I can remember granny would always end a visit by saying that she will soon be dead. I heard that for about four decades lol but God had other plans.. granny was a praying woman who always prayed and she especially prayed for her family.,

Granny and my mom were very close. When my mom had died, that was the third child she actually lost.. my mother was sick for a while unbeknownst to  her. I know she gets reunited with her three children again.  I miss all of you greatly

It is common in this family that when one of our beloved leaves us, A new life is boring. When you died, Marquis’s wife and Debbie were already pregnant. You would’ve loved to have met your great, great grandkids. I think they would’ve been your first batch of great great grandkids. Hendrix and Nova Bella.  they are truly a delight

I remember you were always present for the biggest milestones in our lives and most holidays. You were the glue who held the family together. I know that for sure ! RIP Granny. I’ll always remember you and love you. Until we meet again !

So happy you had the opportunity to visit me in atlanta

Billy and the kids loved you so much. A lot of people have never had the opportunity to have a great grandmother because they tied so young. My kids, know and  understand how blessed they really were.

Granny, you are part of my earliest memories as a kid. I’m grateful you lived well into your 90’s. Although I wish we could live forever, I’m also very glad you are resting in peace now. You earned your wings

Missing you granny! Grateful for all the memories. Kiss grandma for me!

My granny

You were here one minute and now you're gone
The memories of you will forever live on
And although I miss seeing your sweet face
I realize how God showed you so much grace
So many lessons you taught proved to be true
And your words of wisdom always got me through
You taught prayers, nursery, rhymes, and ABC
You taught me so much about the family tree
You were the main root Keeping everyone connected
Just like Jesus, I know your spirit has resurrected
Nova B and Henny missed out on Their  great great grand
Unfortunately, they'll never get to feel the warmth of your hand
Well, now you get to see your mom and two children that you missed
Can you please give Gran Gran, uncle Frank and my mom a kiss?
No more need to worry Or make any fuss
Your loving soul continues to live in all of us

Love Forever, 
your granddaughter,  Michelle

I was this many yrs old when I met auntie for the first time, then covid hit and we could not visit. I am sadden for  not knowing  you earlier. My sympathies to your family/all the cousins for their lost..RIP aunt Sybil

“My heart goes out to you for the loss of your wonderful mother. I know how much she meant to you and your family, I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.”

Beautiful memories of a CHRISTMAS past shared with Sybil and family. She had a long and fruitful life setting the pace for a wonderful memories of a caring and loving grandma. May she REST IN PEACE !

For Mrs KEANES, Sybil

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the KEANES family on the loss of their beloved Sybil-Mrs KEANES

Mrs KEANES and I shared a bond that started early in my high school years.  Florence and I became best friends, and I would spend my weekend at her home together with our other friend Claudette. After high school and graduation that didn’t change. Florence migrated to the USA to attend university, then it was just Claudette and I. Every weekend we would pack our bags and head to Mrs KEANES home. Most of the time Mrs KEANES didn’t even know we were there, because we would be in and out partying. Through it all she never let us feel unwelcome. She was that type of person feisty but kind and loving
Mrs KEANES home was a safe heaven for us



Mrs KEANES and I bonded when I migrated to this country. Many days when Flo was in school it was me an Mrs KEANES. We were nanny’s to two little boys, and boy did we have fun..walking around on the upper west side of Manhattan, strolling through Central Park, enjoying each other’s company. When I think of those days it always bring a smile to my face. You were an amazing lady, I consider myself fortunate to have known you 

To you my dearest friend Flo, you have been the best daughter and caregiver any mother could have 

                       RIP MY BELOVED MRS KEANES

Granny Sybil you will be missed  by so many. May your soul rest in peace.

Keith sends this memory. He has noone
to wake up in the mornings. He misses the
morning conversations.
We lived together for over 28 wonderful years, and we took many trips all over the world.


Dear Sybs. I miss our daily conversations.
"Who is waking you up in the mornings."
I joined the family 28 years ago and you lived and traveled with us ❤️ I love you, and I miss
you. 
My mom passed away years ago and you became my mom. Rest in peace.
Keith

To my dear friend Flo, I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to your family the few times that I spent around your mother I can remember her being a feisty little woman, a tower of strength and very protective of her family. She lived a long, good and healthy life was blessed to have you as her daughter. Flo you gave her your all may she rest in peace. She had a good and long life.


Your smile always lit up the room😊
We love you Sybil❤️
You will be missed greatly and forever in our hearts 💕 

My wonderful cousins, our deepest sympathies, praying that God’s comfort and peace will be with you.  Aunt Sybil will be missed and may her soul rest in peace.

Our road trip partner to  A.T.L. Grams. we will all miss you gone but not forgotten S.I.P.

My brother is her son-in-law, married to her daughter, Flo.  From the first time we met, there was an immediate connection and she would do everything for me, as a mother would.  I remember visiting their home and preparing to go going out to function. I set up the ironing board to press a shirt and she insisted on doing it for me.  She wouldn't take no for an answer.  That's the kind of person she was. Sleep in Peace, Mother Keane. May the Light Perpetual Shine On You.

Granny, you will sorely be missed by your family, and I express heartfelt condolences to each and every one of them.  Your memories will live forever in our hearts and be deeply cherished.  You spoke wisdom and love, in all that you did.  Though tears my fall, may solace be found in knowing that you are now in eternal peace, with our Heavenly Father.  Anytime in your presence, your love was richly felt and you are truly beloved!

Sybil H Keane was my mother. She was 95 yrs old at the time of her passing.  Family was the most important part of her life.
She loved us so dearly and we loved her even more. On behalf of the family, I would like to thank everyone for all the love and support ❤️ during our time of sadness. Mom has gone to her room in her father's house. We miss her and we are saddened at her passing but she had a good time on this earth until dementia robbed her of her memory.
Rest in peace mom. 



Granny with her 2 Great grandsons Andrew and Justin

Blessed to have had her around as long as we did!

Granny’s great grandson Justin visiting on her last day on earth.  Justin is a young man of faith and feels truly blessed that he was able to say goodbye to his great grandmother! Thank you Jesus

Granny with the Jeudy family, Your presence is felt daily. 🥰

Sybil, we never met but you are my grandfather's child, therefore, I love you from afar. I pray you have peace and eternal light in the afterlife.  I'm at peace knowing you're sitting at the high table with your deity. May your memory live on through descendants. XxX 

TO THE BELOVED FAMILY OF OUR SWEET WONDERFUL GRANNY❤️
YOU HAVE MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES.
NOW MAY THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF GIVE YOU HIS PEACE AT ALL TIMES AND IN EVERY SITUATION. MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU ALL.
MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL…
THELMA WALLACE AND FAMILY 

I have had the pleasure of meeting “Granny” on two occasions. She was a very sweet lady and loved and treasured very much by her family. I want to give my condolences to all of her family and loved ones, and I know she will be greatly missed by all. May God continue to strengthen and be with her family members during this difficult time. 

Deepest sympathy to Doreen, Flo and all members of your family.  Wishing you all peace, comfort and heartfelt best wishes.   RIP lovely Sybil.
Much love from Lorna and Rog

My fondest childhood memories begin with memories of my grandmother, Unlike most kids, I preferred time with Granny over time playing with friends. She taught me how to pray. She taught me nursery rhymes, games, wisdom, and how to cook. She shared precious stories of her childhood. She may not have had a college degree, but she had a wealth of wisdom and knowledge about so many things. She loved her family and was a devoted daughter to her mother and a devoted mother and grandmother and much more. Amariah and I were blessed to see her this past Thanksgiving and hear the comforting last words she shared with me. She lived much longer than anyone could have imagined and I believe the love for her family kept her hanging on. I know she loved me and my memorial lives in my heart and soul. This isn't Good bye. This is "so long". We will be reunited again.
