I will surely miss greatly my "Mom away from Home!" She treated me like on of her own and I loved her like my own. God will take good care of this wonderful woman!

I know she will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved her.

I really enjoyed knowing Mrs. Keller. She was always so full of energy and enjoyed doing so many things. She was a devoted member of Grandview and was always there when she could be. I will miss her smiling face and sweet disposition.She got old gracefully and was always looking on the positive side of things. I am so thankful that she is with the Lord and no longer suffering.
