    Sending lots of love and good thoughts to the entire Keeley family. Sis will truly be missed. She was such a wonderful person. She was always full of joy, laughter and wisdom. We talked often and shared cards and letters. Her father was the oldest Conlan brother and mine was the youngest. We shared many memories together. I wish I could be there but know I am thinking of all of you today! ❤️

    Last fall Sis came to San Antonio to surprise her cousin Patricia Wright, who has been living here with me since April of 2020. She came walking in with her walker and saying : " Is this where Patricia Wright lives?" Oh my gosh, that moment was priceless. Her son Tom and wife Esther brought her for lunch and the day. They had the best time repeating stories to each other, and had such a wonderful visit. When they left, Sis said to Pat; " If I get married, I want you to be my maid of honor" Sis was always upbeat and caring. Sis would call often and they would talk for a hour or more and she would send lots of cards to Pat, always saying hi to me. We even got a card from her several weeks ago. Pat says they were more like sisters than cousins. We both will miss her very much. We're grateful to God for bringing her here for a final visit. We took lots of pictures, and our memories of her over the years will bring comfort to our hearts. Her banquet in heaven with Jesus will be amazing, and how grateful we are for her life. Our deepest sympathy to all the family for your loss. Claire Peters ( Pats sister in law) " I will miss you and I love you" Pat
