But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope. if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in the no wise precede them that are far n asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." . 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

I cannot begin to say how shocked and hurt I was when I found out that Keenan was gone. I had not seen nor talked to her in a while. I had the privilege of working with Keenan for quite a few years at East TN Primary Care. My office was directly across from Keenan's check out window. She had the most beautiful smile and she was very sincere. She really cared about the patients and she and I cared about each other. She always said we were family and I know how much she loved her biological family. She was so proud of her son. Keenan always looked so beautiful and she was as beautiful inside as she was outside. I can't begin to imagine the pain her family are feeling and I am so sorry. Keenan I love you, my precious friend.

She is flying high on spirit wings! Peace and the Lord's Richest blessings to "Snoop" and the entire family! Keira Wyatt and the entire Wyatt Family
