I thought there would be more time.

Time to spend together, talk, laugh, reminisce…

Keith, you were sweet, kind and  loving . 
A beautiful person. A beautiful soul.
I will forever remember your soft-spoken gentleness.  

And I will miss all of it. I will miss you in more ways than I can say. 

I love you, my sweet brother, I will always love you. 

Rejoice with the angels. We will see each other again.

I grew up in the neighborhood where his grandparents lived in Smyrna . Our house was the hangout where we shared lots of good times . I have 5 sisters Keith was like a brother to us. As we all grew up we all went our separate  ways.  We will talk about our memories and Keith 's name is usually in the stories that we talk about . Rest in peace Keith.

Sweet Keith,
 I have enjoyed being your stepmom for 63 years in all that time we have never had a cross word.  We had our secrets , went through the good and bad times together. Sometimes when you & I were on the phone & I was laughing to the point of tears your Dad would say what’s so funny  ? I  would say it’s a secret.  You never had a problem introducing me to people as your stepmom but you always said & I love her.
 I wanted you to be happy with the person you had always loved & finally you were just not long enough .
My heart hurts knowing that you’re gone and I will miss you.
I love you James Keith Strickland.

Keith I still remember the day you were born ,that was a wonderful day.  I’ve always been proud of you,  we’ve not always been able to spend a lot of time together because I traveled so much with my job you understood that.  I love you & will miss you until I draw my last breath & we are face to face again.

Always a smile!  Thank you for the smiles and kindness and the many games of Bingo...and birthday celebrations. Always the Braves fan and loved talking about the game.  Always loving the family gatherings...you will be missed.  Glad you found the love with Joy again after all the years...RIP Keith...love you Donna & Darin and family
