My name is Kim Pallireto, Keith Yoakum was my cousin and even though I never met him I was told by Lorene Scarlett (Yoakum) my grandmother she attended his funeral. She also said he was a very brave solider, currently I am trying to put together a family tree at this time. My grandmother has been sick and she is my last link with knowledge about the Yoakum side. If anyone reads this and would be interested in sharing information with me I would appreciate it very much. My mother died when I was quite young and there isn't anyone left who knows much. Sincerley, Kim Pallireto
