This is Bessie Lowry McKeever, the mother of Carl J. McKeever.
Born 1895 and died 1982. Joe took this around 1980.
She was an incredible and godly woman.
This photo of Carl J. and Lois McKeever with their six children
was taken perhaps in 2005. Front row: Carolyn, Pop, Mom, and Patricia.
Back row: Joe, Charlie, Glenn, and Ronald. (You can see why Carl could
never deny any of these sons! They are all his clones, and
each one a character, as are the girls!)
.
You have a beautiful family Joe!
God Bless!

Joe,
Today I attended the first part of the Baptist General Assembly of Virginia, and learned of the devastation in Plaquemines Parish. Wanting to learn more, I came home and found your blog. And now, finding your blog, I have learned that you have lost your father.
While I will not trouble you during this time of grief with an email, I will herein mingle my tears with your own. May the Lord give His grace, peace and comfort to you and your loved ones!

Hi, Joe. I’m curious, maybe because I have not seen you in a while, but did you make a mistake naming your brothers? The last time I saw you, you looked more like the one you named Glenn than the one you named Joe. Of course, we are getting older, and my eyes play tricks on me often. I was so glad to get the pictures. Love you, Hugh Martin.
I sent my friend Hugh a note that, no, I’m actually the white-haired albino on the left. But he’s not the first to look at Glenn and think it was me, or vice versa. He’s 4 years older, but the older man in the family who still has a little dark hair left.
Joe
I’m interested to learn if maybe we are related?
