  1. Oh, how she will be missed by so many. A few years ago we reconnected when she moved to GA and we had some really fun times together. Her stories with laughter were so contagious and we’re so glad she found love again and passed on being a happy and content woman. Our hearts are so sad but we know she is in God’s hands now.

  2. What a loving friend- and fun, funny, funnier. When I think of Key, I have to smile..we had so many escapades in college, and she was a gift when we reconnected in ATL. Our next Reunion will be our best

  3. Key will be missed. She and I were classmates at Chattanooga High Schoo Rest in Peace my friend.

  4. There are not enough superlatives to describe this wonderful woman. It was a Blessing to have known her, and to have known her was to have loved her.

  5. Owen and family..I am so sorry to hear of Key`s death. Only knew her a short time but feel honored to have met y’all at GSPC she will be missed may God bless you with HIS Peace and Comfort sincerely, Peggy Trettel

  6. My thanks to the many friends and family who helped make Key’s Celebration of Life Memorial a wonderful tribute to her. She would have loved all the stories from her life and generous comments from those who loved her. We had such a short time together but I feel we had so many good times and made each other’s life richer because of our love. Her loving husband- Owen

  7. Revelation 21:4
     And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away
