I wish I knew where to start.

Since I don't, I will start with how I want to end to ensure that I can get it out.

I would like all of you to please take some time today to remember your Keith stories, tell a story about how he made you smile, tell a story about how generous he was, tell a story about his laugh, tell a story about that Keith grin he displayed in every photo, or a story of any other Keith moment that brings you joy.

Maybe that was a good place to start because it says a lot about Keith and the person he will always be in our hearts.

I grew up with the greatest little brother and not just because he did what I told him.
While most siblings tattle on each other, when we were kinds we would cover for each other.

As adults, Keith was always there for Larry and I and was always supportive.
He loved our son and did everything he could to help care for him

Keith was the most caring Uncle a little boy could ask for. Just this Friday, as Larry and I battled over who would change a poopy diaper, Keith emphatically said I will, No Problem, WHY Because it was for Zach

Keith was generous, sweet, kind and although it seems odd to say many would describe him as gregarious

But over the past few years, the Keith most of you knew was the face he tried to put on for work, the person he so desperately wanted to be.

He struggled to outrun his illness but it constantly chased him. It hunted him down and stole the light from his eyes.

I Love my Brother with all that I am. I hope his pain has been relieved and that he found the peace he was seeking.

I will always be grateful for the time we had and that he was my brother.

I am thankful my parents raised such a wonderful man.

I hope you will always remember the special, though short time, you had with my KEITHY and that you carry him with you through your life's journey.

Love Always your Devoted Sister: Denise Milano Sprung
