Keith and family, My sincerest sympathies and prayers are with your family in this time of loss. I lost my grandmother (Mama Holly) in 2000 and to this day I miss her dearly. Everyday I think of her and what she meant to our family. I know you will miss her, but remember she is watching you, loving you and thinking of you. She will always be with you in your heart and your soul. Grandmother Grandmother hug and Grandmother kisses, Hot oven cookies and holiday wishes, Attics with treasures of children grown old, Stories of magic and princes so bold, Oceans of patience and rainbows of love, A right ray of sunshine sent from above, You stirred my childhood with rich, golden days, Touching my life in so many ways. When shadows are dark, I reach through the night, The love of a grandmother shines like a light. With love, respect and sympathy, Joan Throckmorton |

My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Urban family, with the recent passing
of Keiths grandmother. I remember when I lost my grandmother and it was a very difficult time for all. Please know, Keith, that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Diane S. Spokane, WA |
Keith, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved grandmother. I'm sure like the rest of the Urban family that she was a special lady. You were blessed to have her in your life for all these years. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Urban family. God Bless You, Kim |
We were so sorry to read of Keith's Grandma's passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his parents. We hope he and his family are able to find time to be together and grieve in privacy. Our love and support go out to all. With much Sympathy, Karen and Rob Hunt Langley, BC Canada |
To the Urban Family: I send my deepest condolences in regards to your loss. I know she was a special lady. May you find peace in knowing she is in a better place. Best Regards, Shannon Zimmermann Columbus, Georgia |
I just wanted to let Keith and his family know, they are in my thoughts and prayers. When you loose someone so precious to you, the hurt is unbearable. I pray the Urban family will rely on our Lord to help them through this time. I believe with all my soul that she's in a much better place. I know that they wish she was still here with them, but Heaven is very lucky to have her. I just wanted to say this, she is now gone from earth, but she will continue to live in each heart that knew her. Like, I said before my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Bobbi-Kay Odom Heber Springs, Arkansas, USA |
I just wanted to let you know that there is one more person keeping the Urban family in their thoughts and prayers. It's tough to lose a Grandmother, I have lost one myself, so I can imagine the kind of loss Keith is feeling. Thankfully he is going to be home soon, where he can be surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. Wishing all of the Urban's the very best and much love. xoxo Amy Ontario, Canada |
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this sad time. Losing a
parent and grandparent truly leaves a void in the family and in your heart. How blessed you must feel that you had her to love and appreciate for so long. I know she had to be so very proud of each of you. You will find comfort with each other and in time, your memories will bring comfort remembering all the happiness. The spirit never dies, it lives in all of the hearts of those she touched. With my most heartfelt condolences, Cindy Gallo |
I wish there were adequate words to express my deepest sympathy at the loss of someone so dear to your family. I hope you know that your entire family are in my thoughts right now and will continue to be. I believe that now there is another angel watching over everyone of you and she will be with you always. Love and Light, Lisa Pepper Kentucky |
My deepest heartfelt sympathies and prayers to Keith and family on the loss of his Grandmother. May she rest in peace. Love, Kathie from Denver, Colorado |
There's a lot of comfort in the thought that sorrow, grief and woe Are sent into our lives sometimes to help our souls to grow!!! kutennfan Sharon McKemy |
I would like to espress my deepest symathy to Keith and his family upon the death of his grandmother. I will keep you all in my prayers. Wilma |
Urban Family, I am sorry to hear the news. When I found out I couldn't help but cry. You may not know it, but Yall have helped me get through some tough times. Yall will be in my prayers always. ~Blair Bingham |
My prayers go out to the entire Urban family as well. My grandfather had his funeral on Valentine's Day 2 years ago and even now it is hard to believe he is gone. In fact, when my grandmother visited and we drove her to the airport, I was spacing out in the backseat--watching the lines in the road pass by or something--and suddenly felt my grandfather's presence--as though I could turn to the seat next to me and he'd be there smiling. It wasn't a vision but whatever it was, it was irreplaceable. That feeling still brings tears to my eyes because it showed me just how truly the people you love always stay close--death does not change that. I think he watches over my grandmother and that brings a sense of peace and a different kind of joy than the joy he brought to me when alive. I've never told anyone else that story but I'm sending it out because I hope that they find comfort in knowing that their grandmother isn't really gone. There is every reason to grieve and feel only the loss right now but the heart and soul will always find the most strength in something far beyond what we can know and imagine. May their spirits always be connected. I don't think I've expressed myself all that well but maybe what's behind these words can still lend comfort. To Bob, Marienne, and the whole Urban family--to put it simply, God keep you and my deepest condolences--Kasey Bogert |
My thoughts & prayers go out to the entire Urban family. I'm sure 'Grandmother Urban' will be dearly missed by all who knew her. It must be a very difficult time for everyone, especially Keith, who is in such a great place in his career, and now mourning this passing. Memories are what keep us strong in times of sorrow. It must be comforting to know that saw her grandson hit stardom doing something he loves. Love & Blessings Always, Patti in NJ |
To Keith and Family, So sorry for you loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Kim - Barbados |
I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Keith and his family with the loss of his Grandmother. The Urban family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Annie Lincoln, Nebraska USA |
My Granny's favorite song was "I'll Fly Away". I remember her, when I was a child, going around the house singing that song. I haven't been able to even listen to that song in the years since she passed. But when I heard Keith sing it, it made me remember all the good times I had spent with my Granny over the years. I know how you must be feeling right now. I was very close to my Grandmother. I have never completely gotten over the loss. But I am wishing you strength and hope and love and sending a prayer to the Urban family. I know you will never get over it but know you will remember all the good times and love a family shares. Best Wishes, Twyla |
Bob and Family, I am so sorry for your loss, I pray for God to give you comfort
in your trying hour. I hope these words will be a blessing to you and your family. My Prayer For You Our Father who art in Heaven Hear this little Prayer And reach across the miles today That stretch from here to there So I may feel much closer To those I am fondest of And they may know I think of them With sympathy and love. Thank you Lord for this Family And give them Peace Sincerely With Love, Gladys Marie Lovin |
My condolences to everyone....remember the light that she touched your life with will live on as you pass it on to others, and we are all eternally grateful. Lisa |

To the Urban family Please acpect my deepest sympathy for your loss and please remember this little piece of advice about life, love and living: Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Others are spent surviving day to day. But there is no greater moment than when we find that life, with all its joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time. It's in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all. Whether we live in a forty-room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a sturggle to mange the rent month to month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning. One day at a time ~ we have that ability, throught cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream. We can experience each day anew, and with this fresh start we have what it takes to make all of our dreams come true. Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest. God Bless you and all in your family and my prayers are with you today and everyday. Sincerely, The Mayab Family |
To the Urban Family, My deepest sympathies and condolences on your recent loss. It is never easy to go on after the loss of a loved one.

Sincerely, Fanchon-Marie Edgar Phoenix, AZ |
I am sending my thoughts and prayers to the Urban family in this time of grief. My heart feels for you. I no longer have any Grandparents at all.

So prayers and thoughts are being sent your way from me, way down here in Alabama. I have your family in my heart. with love, Twyla |
To The Urban Family: The passage below was given to me almost 4 years ago when I lost my best friend. She was a police officer and was killed in the line of duty in North Carolina. I thought I would pass it on to you, in your time of sadness. Remember the love, the tears, the laughter, but most of all remember. Laura |

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Keith's grandmother this month.

TO THE URBAN FAMILY WE EXTEND OUR SORROW, SYMPATHY, PRAYERS AND LOVE MAY THE LORD BRING YOU COMFORT IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW |
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Urban family at this time of loss.
May they have the opportunity to grieve in peace and to find comfort in the
memories of the love and life they shared with her. May the memories of days
gone by keep her alive in your heart always. Much love, thoughts and prayers, Penny Spicer Reality of Life Life isn't just full of happiness, It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears. It's the thoughts of yesterdays memories, That can wash away all our fears. It's that very painful experience, That each one of us has had. It's the laughter that fills the air, It's the tears when you are sad. It's loving that someone special, That at one time made you smile. It's the pain of losing that person, But the memories that make it worthwhile. It's that child in every one of us, Although in time we'll all be old. It's the good times we'll never forget, It's the memories we'll always hold. It's the hug that we all need, When we'd rather drown in our sorrow. It's the hope in every one of us, That makes us hold on for tomorrow. Copyright İ By Stephanie Clark |
To the Urban Family: Heartfelt sympathy to you all on the loss of your mother/grandmother. It is never easy to say goodbye. I wish for your family peace and serenity--believe that you now have an angel looking down on you. Keith, you spread so much spiritual inspiration to your fans--thank you!! Pam Paola pspaola@yahoo.com |
Hi Keith. I was saddened to hear the news of your grandma passing.
I understand she was your biggest fan. I believe she will continue to be. There is a saying that goes like this: "And if I go while you're still here... Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure -behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait the time when we can soar together again, -both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart, ...I will be there." I know you'll find your own way to work through the loss. I am thinking of you and yours. Take Care, Carla |
My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with you. I share your sorrow. ~She will
be greatly missed.~ I also rejoice that Keith's nana is at peace and smiling down on her beloved family. I'm sure she is as beautiful as her name. I am happy that Keith and his Mum will be able travel back "home" shortly to spend some much deserved private family time together. Helen Parrish, Chesapeake, Virginia USA |
Do not stand by my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints upon the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain and I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am that swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. Please accept my sincerest sympathies. Please know you are in my heart and prayers. Shanna Canchola Portland OR USA |
To Keith and Shane.... The passing of someone who you've known your whole life is a hard thing. Grandparents are your support system. When you're little, the give you what your parents wouldn't (i.e. money, cookies, extra lovin') and when you're older, they support you no matter what. My deepest sympathies are with you guys at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you! To Bob, Marienne and the rest of the Urban family... My deepest sympathies are with you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Prayers with you all in this hard time. Love and good thoughts, Jenna Bowen Denver, Colorado |
Its such a difficult time when you lose a > grandparent. But what a blessing to have a lifetime of memories to > reflect back on. I bet Keith and his brother and cousins all have > wonderful memories of their grandmother and hopefully they will hold on > to these to get them thru these days. What a testament to the strength that Keith has that he is able to continue with his shows and continue to give to his fans at such a difficult time. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and my wish for him is that when he is not on stage that he find peace and strength through his family and loved ones. His whole family is in my prayers.

Dear Keith, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this most sad time in your lives. May all the happy memories of your grandmother give you comfort. She lived long enough to see her grandson make his dreams come true. She'll be smiling down on you from heaven always. My grandmothers passed away long before I was born but I did have a great grandmother who I miss to this day. I see the love that my mother and my boy's father's mother have enriched their lives with. I pray that you'll all find love and peace. God Bless You All Cindy Webb Wynantskill, NY USA |

Keith and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, there are no words I can say to make it easier, time will do that. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I came on the board today to share the news about my 5th great-nephew arriving in the world today, and I was greeted with this sad news. It's the circle of life isn't it? It also made me realize how precious life is and how we must make every day count, take nothing for granted and most of all, never miss a chance to tell someone you love them, especially those that mean the most to you. Our love to you all, Elaine Gasparini & family, Tottenham, Ontario, Canada |
I want to send my prayers and love to keith and his family. I know how hard
it is to lose a grandparent. I'm sad that keith is sad. When I found out about it on the KU message board I was shocked. I know keith's grandmother must be very proud of keith and always will be. I hope keith hangs in there. He knows that many people love him and support him! Love and Prayers, Leeanna Wise Sistersville, WV |

To the Urban Family: I was saddened to hear about your loss Keith's grandmother. I only know that with each passing year, memories become more precious. I pray that her legacy will be remembered in the years to come and passed onto future generations as has been the case in my family with the passing of my grandmother in 1963.

Dear Urban Family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My grandmother passed away 5 years ago, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Many thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Heather Dunn Wheeling, West Virginia |
God is still by your side. He is the shoulder you can cry on and the arms you
can run to. While all of you precious people are mourning the loss of your loved one He is still with you. Know that she is at a better place with the Father. I never got to meet my mothers mom, she pasted away right before I was born. All I have are old pictures of her. I never got to feel her hugs or hear her say she loved me. Keith and Shane, you both are able to look back on the joyous memories that you shared with your grandmother. That is something that I will never be able to have. Be thankful and give all the praise to God for making those memories possible. I have lost many many members of my family and I know what you are going through. It might not seem like it, but it does get easier understand after a while. You will still always miss her, as I do my family. Just know that I do love and care for you all and that you will be in my every prayer. God Bless!! LOVE Shaina from- Hartville, Ohio USA age- 16 |
Hello to Keith and members of the Urban Family, I wish to express my sympathies for your loss. Having lost my grandmother in my teen years, I know that it is hard to lose the ones you love at anytime in your life for we all wish that they can be with us forever. We must cherish every moment with them as if it were our last and begin each day with them as if it were our first. Your family will forever be in my prayers. Weather we are taken from this earth or are left to walk upon it and have all of our memories of it taken away we should treasure every moment with those we love. I wrote these words of encouragement when she passed and have reflected on them everytime I think of her. May bless each of you and keep you in his loving arms. Today I Live I see smiles of happiness, with sadness inside I look into the eyes and see a soul stirring with the wind I feel the rhythm of the heart and the pounding of its flesh I hear the nothingness of nature sounding in the air, God is here Lightness coming from within, no restraints holding back the darkness or the light Warmth coming soon with the stillness of the cool, slowly stirring, moving, touching, to hear the bubbling, gurgling sounds, For today I live each moment passes faster than lightning speed Life is full of sounds and textures For today I live if only just to be, For today I live to feel, see, hear, life is to live only for today.

You are all such lovely kind people....I'm sure Keith's nana was a beauty too. Trudy |

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother Keith/Shane--and to your mother-in-law-- Marienne(Marrianne--I've seen it spelled two ways--not sure which is the correct one) and to your mother Bob and to Jennifer--Blake & Jessica. This is the inspired writing(s) that came to me after I had begun writing this letter to you ------- "Can time erase the memory of you from my mind no it can never for it was time that allowed me to be with you and experience all you had to give--all you were to me--and all you came to mean to me It was time that graced our lives with the fragrance of your love endless--timeless--in its intrinsic beauty" --------- IN A LITTLE WHILE-ONCE AGAIN I have walked with you many places in life I am the essence of all that you are and have come to be I am both life and love eternal I have existence in and through you for I am the memory in which you will keep me alive I am present in you and will always be with you and though time would keep my physical presence from you I am with you in Spirit I have walked through the valley and I stand seeing all that is before me all of which I wish to let you know is good I will remain with you and you will always be with me in a little while we will be once again I have experienced so much with all of you and not once have I regretted any of it We have loved--laughed--and cried and have been made stronger by all that we had to endure my frail body rests now I have been clothed in immortality and what once was is no longer I am made complete perfected by the light of God Let your tears for me be tears of joy for no more sorrow shall I bear neither shall I toil or weep over the frailty of that which I could not control I am the proof that life is the evidence that there is a God for which we shall return to His existence will make manifest the rejoining of our souls when time stands still YOU AND I shall be once again ------- life begins and ends--yet there is something that will never die and that is the love shared between two people ------- TO NEVER HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE Would I be able to ever fathom what having you in my life has meant for me and will always mean Love cannot be capsulated and it can never be contained for it is a freeing agent and has no boundaries or barriers What would I forfiet for you Everything for this is what you are to me Everything My memory will hold all that you are and will not fail me when it comes to retrieving the times that you and I have shared This will be the cup of strength that will keep me til I am with you again I know that I am your legacy that you leave behind God is your ever-abiding comfort now and this brings peace to my soul to know that you now rest in his presence and one day I too will-in his light-be taken and be rejoined with you This life we live is but a foretaste of what life is and will be and time may separate the physical bodies of our loved ones from us but can never separate what they are to us for what they are--who they are lives on in our memory in our conscious thoughts when I behold your face I know it will seem like no time at all when once again we say hello TO NEVER HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE Copyrighted 2004 Kelly b ------------------------ PS I had suffered a loss as well this year. My mother passed away in January 17. It was very hard for me. I had to travel a distance to go to her funeral.. I got to the city the day before the funeral service. It was so hard on me to even go near the place where I knew she was in preparation for the next days service. The closer I got to the funeral home--the harder it was for me--once I got to the building--I felt like I was going to literally vomit--but I didn't. I had to force myself to go into the building and when I got in I was so distraught that the woman told me that there was a room I could go into til I was ready. I went into the room and being there made it no less difficult for me--I was going to have to face this and no time there was going to change that.I knew that my family would be coming soon and I wanted to spend some time alone with my Mom. Because of this I made myself go in after I was in the room for a while. It was very hard to see her lying there. I looked at her and it was like I was thinking she'd just get up anytime---I guess that was me in shock and denial. I spent a bit of time alone with her and then the family showed up. After some of them left I asked one of the attendants how long I could stay---I was allowed to stay with my Mom all night and that is what I did. I think I slept 5-10 min and the rest of the time I was up. I left around 8 am to go and get ready for the funeral. I sang at my Moms funeral. I was also one of the pall-bearers. I had three things that I had written--one of which was a letter/a verse/and a song---they were buried with her along with a letter from my family. |
My Dear loved ones, These words I wish to say, I went home to be with Jesus, And here is where I'll stay. My pain and struggle is over; I'll rest in peace today. Although I know you'll grieve for me, Be strong, for it's okay. Im now at home in Heaven, Where there's everlasting light. I'm in the arms of Jesus, Holding on to me so tight. Please try to carry on your life, For there's still work to be done. Someday you'll be rewarded And meet God's only son. He came Himself to meet me, Oh what a glorious sight! When He put His arms around me, And I saw a beaming light. When your life on earth is over, Then He will call you home. It's then you will truly see, The joy that's yet to come To Bob, Marienne, Keith, Shane and the entire Urban family, no words will ever ease your pain and loss, As these next months and years pass by some days will be diamonds and some days coal I know that Keith's nana was one heck of a lady! because her family reflect some special traits that could have only been inherited from her. May God grant you strength, to help you through the hard times. With sincere heart felt sorrow, and condolences, You are all in my prayers and thoughts Teena I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing her I'm drowning in my sorrow. Please help to heal my yesterday And face each new tomorrow. It was then I heard her gentle voice And felt her presence near. How I wanted so to hold her As I cried another tear. She said.. My son,, I'm an angel now My spirit will be free. I'm an angel now in heaven So please don't cry for me. I was chosen by our Lord above And now I'm in His care. Whenever you need me Just look inside your heart I promise to be there No one can ever take away Our bond with one another. For you'll always be my child And I will always be your mother. |
