I feel I have lost a great friend. In the years we were together I had the opportunity to meet all the family. We had many dinners together and we enjoyed each one. May God bless the family from this time forward.

Keith, we have so many precious memories of times spent with you and Martha. From Cabot, Arkansas (where I was blessed to stay with youall while conducting revival services in your church there).....to California where you pastored in Campbell and I pastored Foothill BC in Los Altos.

We are so sorry for your temporary separation, but so thankful that Martha is no longer suffering.
It warms our hearts to know that her Memorial service will be held at FSBC as it is La Moyne's home church....where we were married 57 yrs. ago)

Wish we could be there for you and your family,
but be assured that our hearts WILL be there.

Sending our love along with our prayers,
Travis and La Moyne

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you, Keith and your loving family. Tho' we've never met face-to-face, it was through Faith and our love for Music that our worlds have connected. I have felt the love and devotion between you and your dear wife, the closeness you've shared over the years. You have memories and moments to cherish for a lifetime. God will never leave your side and the yesterdays will live on forever in your heart. With your deep conviction and that of your children as well, His presence will shower you with comfort while the Holy Spirit fills your heart with peace everlasting.

I have fond memories of how you both made my daughter and myself feel so welcome when we attended your services, and when we were invited into your home. You also baptized my daughter when she was around 4 years old, she is now 17.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Martha was a wonderful person and she touched our lives.......Frances & Jessica (Fresno, Ca)

To Keith and all the Loyd family, what a joy to have known you for so long. Martha and I worked together and shared lunchs everyday for several years, then working in your church and singing together, Martha was always our biggest loyal supporter in our songwriting endeavors. I have missed your and will love you all forever. May God bless and comfort you all at this time.
