Laureen Keith Obituary

I did not know that she had passed. We are so sorry for your loss. When we moved back to Colorado we were trying to get ahold of you both but you had moved. I left messages with your assistant. I wish that we were able to catch up. My daughter who was in the window tint commercial years ago when she was 7 is now 15, and our son is now almost 9. I use to help with your bookkeeping and enjoyed the opportunity. I just wish we had time to see you both.

Staci if you see this, we are still in Fountain, CO, and we both have Facebook pages. I didn't want to put our number up here. But we would like to connect if you have time. We were actually wanting to contact you all because we didn't know if you all had moved to the area of where they just had the fire. Please friend us on Facebook and we'll get together.

Your friends,
Shaun and Colleen Prior

I am one of those who had the pleasure of being mentored by Laureen. Her wealth of experience was unmeasurable, and she is the one with whom I place the mst credit for kickstarting my career as a designer and copywriter. I first met Laureen in 2006 and began working with her on advertising campaigns and branding projects (logos, etc.) for local businesses in the Colorado Springs area. The experience I gained in working with her – not to mention the sheer joy of being around her – will always b e considered one of the most treasured periods of my existence on this planet. Laureen, your smile worked miracles and your laughter was magical. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time you spent guiding me in this business, on everything from letter spacing to working with clients. Not a day goes by that I don't use or remember something you taught me during those mentoring years, and I look forward to the day when I can express my gratitude directly into your soul, no matter what form we are in at that time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And Stacy, words cannot begin to express my sympathies for your loss. I didn't know Laureen much outside of the business world, but if her personality at home was filled with the same levels of exuberence and energy she displayed when working, there would indeed be a void hard to fill in her absence. Please know that our hearts are with you and the rest of the family members, and we think and pray for you often. Laureen was truly the rarest of souls, and I am honored to have known her, worked with her, and been trained by her. God bless..... Sincerely, Tommy Pesavento

Dear Mr Keith:

I have never met you nor your wonderful wife but would like to express my condolences also.

What struck me was that your wife has the exact name as mine "LAUREEN KEITH" But what was even more uncanny was that most of the positive qualities she had are similar to mine. It was as if I was reading my own obiturary.

I would never be able to understand how you feel, but can surely identify
since I myself have lost loved ones close to me. Two husbands, and my mother two years ago.

I know you will never forget, but the pain will become more manageable as the days roll on. As you grieve, as you must, remember all the good Laureen did in her lifetime and rejoyce, and that all you need do is to look at your kids and you will notice that she is still around and her rich legacy lives on in them and you also.

The only major difference between your spouse and myself,is that I am black and lives in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

May Laureen rest in peace and may God continue to bless you and your family.

Stacy, I think of you often because I know how very much you are missing Laureen. I miss her a great deal also. She was special! My hope is that time is beginning to ease your heartache.

Although I didn't know Laureen well, she made an impact on my life with the joyfulness with which she lived her life. No one was a stranger. She's definitely missed.

I knew Laureen for the past 34 years. I met her when I first moved to Houston. She introduced me to the property management business and it became my career for the following 25 years. We were very close the first 15-20 years of our friendship, but as our lives moved in different directions distance was our only barrier. I've always known she was there for me if I ever needed her, all I had to do was pick up the phone and call her. She also knew the same. It didn't matter if we hadn't spoken in 6 months or a year we always picked up where we left off. It doesn't seem real that she is gone. She sent me her newest family photos last October, she looked and everyone looked fantastic. I will never forget her & the impact she made on my life. I will miss my friend!
My prayers are with you Stacy and with you John. I know she loved you so very much!

Laureen, I can't begin to express how much I miss you - Your laugh, your energy, they way you touched everyone you met. You taught me so much about life. I could never thank you enough. I will always love you my dear friend.

For our beloved daughter-in-law, a poem comes to mind that describes her wonderful life: "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night. But, oh my foes, and oh my friends, it gives a lovely light." I can't recall who wrote it, but it captures the essence of our lovely Laureen.

Stacy,

Words fail me. Laureen was an awesome Lady. Stacey and I send you our love and wish I would have stayed there longer for you big brother.

Your little brother Stuart.

Our hearts hurt today for having lost such a wonderful friend. We are so blessed to have had Laureen in our lives. Her joy and enthusiasm for life was contagious. There was so much to admire about Laureen - we will never forget her. Stacy - our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time.

Although I didn't know Laureen very well, the brief visits we shared made me feel as if I knew her a lifetime. She was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. She will live on in our hearts and I'm proud to have called her my sister-in-law.

Stacy,
Stuart and I are sending our love to you every minute of every day.

When Laureen laughed there was no mistaking who it was in the room. She had a charisma about her that just lit the place. She lived so big and with such fervor it is actually hard to imagine her not here. And sweetie just so you know...I watched the sun rise after I got the phone call and all I could think of is how you shined. Love ya and I miss ya. Dawnie.

Stacy,

I am so sorry. Laureen was a wonderful lady who will be missed by many. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Laureen had joie de vivre that made her special. Her enthusiasm and positivity made her a joy to be around. She never knew an stranger and took people to her heart instantly. I was fortunate enough to be one of those persons. I will never forget her loving care when she brought me dinner while I was recuperating from surgery. I will miss her greatly. Angela Ann Cesario

Laureen - when I met you, I instantly realised from whom John had inherited his big, loving and caring heart - from you!! Your joy for life and laughter made me instantly love you as a friend and your open arms and love towards me made me love you like a second mother. You made it so easy for me to feel loved by and part of the Keith family. You will forever be in my heart and memories!

Love you always!!

Your daughter-in-law Malin

Stacy, Our Deepest Sympathy to You and Family. The Okkers

Laureen your love for life will be with me forever. The earth will be a much dabber place without your smile and humor.

Until we meet again.

Your loving husband
