So Beautiful. Thank you for the memories.
Dear Keith, I have loved watching your life in a photo slide show with all the memories of the love you have been surrounded by because of the love you gave so freely all of your life. The smile that was always there as a testimony to God's plan for your life. We were blessed to be cousins connected by my mother, Ruby, and your father, Pete, to a large collection of Turners. More cousins than anyone could dream of to feel love around every corner. We always knew the door would be opened at any hour and that the games would begin. Your parents were so proud of you two, Keith and Cheryl. They lived for your happiness and success. As I viewed all the photos of you doing the same in the lives of your children and grandchildren, I knew how this legacy of love and support had been passed on without a thought knowing how it will be that saving grace in times like this. As a boy, you were always kind and gentle. You loved animals and being outdoors. You didn't let a badly broken leg that you and your cousin Dean shared at the same time slow you down. You were always Cheryl's knight in shining armor, protecting her and making sure she was happy by doing something silly to put a smile on her face. I cherish those early Irving and Grand Prairie years when we lived in close proximity. So many cousins so close by was truly a gift. Your dad and mine were often card playing partners when Pinochle was played and they were hardly ever beaten. The laughing of our parents playing into the night after we had been sent to bed but we languished in the joy they shared I can still hear. Our grandmother with her 13 children made sure that they were each loved and that love kept them together after she went to Heaven. The effort to gather was our life line. I will never forget your wedding to Janis. Keith the look on your face was of such love and pride and the tears you shed touched everyone so deeply. God brought you the perfect life partner in Janis to walk with, to share such joy together each day, and to face loss as a team. When you lost your parents so tragically at the same moment without a chance to say goodbye was such a heartbreaking event that You know they knew your love at that last breath, Keith. We all grieved their loss. God made sure Beulah and Bertha built their home in Huntsville specifically for family gatherings. Those were healing gatherings for us all. Those are some of my favorite memories of my children and yours having a blast being cousins. As usual, you were Cheryl's stalwart rock. She took it so hard. We all did. What could we do? We had to go on as they would want you to and you did. Three beautiful daughters. Becoming a Chiropractor that was such a perfect match for the man God created you to be. I regret the years that we were unable to see as much of each other as we were busy raising our families, but Keith we always knew we were connected by blood and love. When Cheryl died, I know it was devastating for you because she was such a part of your heart. But as I knew would happen, you lived on for her. Keith, God has been your Father watching over you and directing your paths all these years healing you after your own major health challenges to fight back for your family. Don't despair now, you fought the good fight and left a legacy of love that will live on and on and on in those of us that will always love you. Give Pete, Gladys, and Cheryl a big hug for me as only you could. I know you are all catching up and laughing and staying up all night telling stories. You will always be that smile in the sunrise and sunset.
Love, Jan Nosko Alexander
Such a radiate smile. Precious memories
I’m so sorry to hear of Keith’s death. He was such a sweet, soft-spoken man of God with a giving heart! He was so proud of his family and loved talking about them each time I saw him!
