My Story

Keith was my first born and the light of my life. Keith was happy child who loved his family, friends, and God. We all loved his infectious smile and heart of gold. Keith had hopes of graduating, school prom, and moving on to college to be an veterinary. Keith’s hopes were put on hold in 2004 when he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma cancer at the age of 16. This diagnoses was a heartbreaking, scary , and shocking thing for him and all of his loved ones. It was time for him to fight for his life. Keith went through five months of chemo which only spread the cancer to other organs and just drained him of any healthy cells he had left to fight with. In March 2005 God decided it was time for Keith to be with him in Heaven and not have anymore pain. I'm so proud of the fight he put up to live. We love and miss him everyday. Please donate to the St. Baldrick's Foundation in hopes to end childhood cancer.
