LATER
Michael, was raised in Mobile, AL, to a poor country family.
Has so loved by his Grandmother Hart (Mother of Elinor Rene Hart Labruzza OKeefe).
Educated a good, albeit rebellious, catholic boy.
Michael was independent, making his own decisions.
Michael always remained close to his brother, Galen Anthony O’Keefe, of Theodore, AL.
Michael’s move to Houston, TX was fitting in his personality, his enjoyment of his friends….and then meeting Phyllis.
Phyllis bonded with Michael, teaching him that each must find their own way in life, but bonded like 2 like souls.
I was privileged to be invited to Mike and Phyllis’ wedding, and saw them joined in their lives, finally moving forward together. This was the final chapter in Mike’s life, and I felt at peace seeing them together. This was the fulfillment of two lives together.
Phyllis, I am thankful for all the love and support you gave Mike, and such a loving peaceful end.
May you be loved and cared for as you have cared for him.
Roy
