I FIRST MET YOUR DAD WHEN I WAS IN MUHLENBERG SCHOOL OF NURSING.AT OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY HE PLAYED SANTA.ROTATION THROUGH THE OB UNIT WAS MY NEXT OPPOTUNITY.HE WAS SO WELL RESPECTED BY THE NURSING STAFF.I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE DR.KEATING IN SURGERY.ONCE AGAIN HE DEMONSTRATED SUCH KINDNESS TOWARD THE OR STAFF. AS AN RN, DR. AND MRS.KEATING ASKED ME TO CARE FOR THEIR FOUR SONS AND HOME WHILE AWAY ON BUSINESS TRIPS OR SHORT VACATIONS.WHAT A JOY TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THEIR LIVES AND SEE SUCH LOVE WITHIN THE KEATING FAMILY. I WAS PRIVILEGED TO WORK WITH DR KEATING AS HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND I WOULD ATTEND MEETING AS THE DIRECTOR OF QUALITY.HE ALWAYS WOULD TELL ME HOW PROUD HE WAS OF MY ACCOMLISHMENTS. DR KEATING DELIVERED MY THREE CHILDREN FOR WHICH I AM GREATFUL.I ADMIRED HIS PASSION FOR MUHLENBERG AND HIS GREAT COMPASSION FOR THE PATIENTS AND THE STAFF. MY LAST VISIT WITH YOUR DAD WAS AT MCCAULY HALL AND I ATTEND MASS WITH HIM.ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT COMMUNICATE VERBALLY WITH ME IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL VISIT.I WILL CHERISH MY MEMORIES OF YOUR DAD. DR. KEATING IS NOW REUNITED WITH HIS BELOVED WIFE.
