Keith David Elwart - Online Memorial Website

Bridget,

Thank you for visiting our son's site.  (Andrew Collins)  Your kind words are heartfelt.  I believe that our girls are handling Andrew's death better than I am as well, but deep down, do we really know what they feel?  I know that Keith and Andrew have met and are good friends now.  Andrew never met a stranger.  That worried me when he was young.  May God Bless you and keep you safe.  If I could take away your heartache, I most certainly would, but if someone could manufacture a cure for grief and this agonizing pain, we would all be a happier bunch and someone would be a wealthy sole!  Realistically, we know that it is going to take time....I'm just not sure how long it takes to wake up each morning without a lump in my throat and a knot in the pit of my stomach.  Do take care and know that I am praying for you.  debi.lynne@hotmail.com

To my one and only son Keith,

who will alway's be with me. I

grieve from the heart everyday.

I wish Keith you could of stayed.

Your gentle soul you gave to me,

as your mother it will forever be.

Your smile gleamed so brite. It

would light up a room.

Your hug's and kisses I miss each day.

Son you new just what to say,

to lift me up everyday. What a

loving son I had till you were gone

at 23. I thank you Keith for being

in my life.

It will never be the same with out you

my baby boy.That child that gave me

so much joy. You would joke and play

when you were home. I would laugh

down to my silly bone.

When you moved on to the other side.

I just wanted to curl up and hide. I

thought this can't be happening to me

or you, not with everything we have been

through.

A piece of my heart left that day, all

broken and shattered. Because you

could not stay and grow old that way.

I would give anything to wrap my arm's

around you again. you would let me hold 

you as long as I wanted. Some how you

new I needed that, even as a small child.

To teach you to talk, to walk, and explore,

is a gift I had with you and I still want more.

I have yet to see a more Loving son, you and

I use to have so much fun.

I miss our talk's and walk's in the wood's.

You were alway's there with a kind word to

say. even if you had a bad day.

What a precise gift you gave to me, the day

you were born, and now it seem's like all

I do is mourn and grieve for what could

have been. But I know in my heart I will see

you again.

So until that time is to come, just remember

where ever you are, you still have a mom and

she's not that far.Keith what ever you need in

spirit I am here for you. I think that you know

that to be true.

So spread your wing's and fly my son.

To be free and happy is all I ever wanted

for you.The love I have for you is so great

that my heart just ache's. You are my

heart Keith it will be forever.

what a gentle soul who chose me as your

mother.I remember you thanking me for 

being a great mom to you. But Keith you were

the one that blessed me, with a great son.

Where I go from here time will tell. Just

remember I alway's wish you well. You

are my light that touched everyone. I'm

so glad you are my son. Thank you Keith

for being with me for 23 year baby!!!!

      Thank You My Son

              Keith.

          Love Mom!!
