Keisha, throughout her life was an exceptionally loving, kind and generous person. She touched so many lives in the most positive way and brought joy to all she encountered. She loved unconditionally, without respect of person. Undoubtedly, her greatest passion was her children and family. Keisha was a living example of Christ who focused on goodness, purity, and uprightness. She loved the Lord with all of her heart and was never afraid to witness to others about the goodness of the Lord. Even in sickness, her faith remained strong and she refused to speak of negativity; she chose ONLY to trust God.
