Miss Keck was a beacon of encouragement and love to hundreds of children including myself. I remember how scared I was to go to school, then I met Miss Keck and I have loved school since. She will always be loved by those of us lucky enough to have entered her classroom. Her death is a great loss to us all.

I remember Mrs. Keck when I was a little boy going to school from kindergarten through second grade.
ReplyDeleteMy dad and uncles had her when they attended Keota schools. Mrs. Keck was my reading teacher and taught me how to read. the last time I saw Mrs. Keck was about 3 or 4 years ago and she remembered me after I told her my name from all those years ago. Mrs.Keck was a loving and passionate woman. She had a heart for all the kids in Keota. Mrs. Keck I will always remember you. Your family in in our prayers. We will see her again someday.
Sincerely the Blaylock Family
