what a remarkable love story. as a Valencia parent, I have heard all about Chris. It wasn't until tonight that I heard your story. Chris, Keasha was a very lucky woman to have known you. And, you have been as lucky to have had her in your life. love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family.

Speaking from a wife this was so touching, I can't even imagine. My prayers go out the family.

Such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing. May we all learn to show compassion and unconditional love as you have. You are amazing, blessed and favored by God. May God richly bless you, the Draft family and the Rutledge Family.

What an amazing love story and a reminder of what unconditional love is. Chris, your wife will always be with you in spirit and you will be with your wife again someday. Keasha, may you Sleep in Peace in paradise as prayers of comfort go for the Rutledge and Draft families during this difficult time. True love lives on. Thank you Chris & Keasha for showing some of us.

My heart goes out to the Draft and Rutledge family. I have no idea what it like to lose your love of your life but I know about an unbearable lost. We lost our 17 year old daughter 3 days before our wedding anniversary . It will be 5 years come this Jan. I pray God give you comfort and peace .

This story truly touched me. This is a wonderful story about unconditional love. My eyes are full of tears.

This is a beautiful story. I could not stop crying when I watched the video. I'm in love with love.

What a beautiful love story! I just married and it really touched my soul! I will be in prayer for the families. LOVE is beautiful!

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER FAMILY--I KNOW HER MOTHER AND DAD WELL AND HE TOO WAS A GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER---I CANNOT NOR DO I WANT TO IMAGINE LOSING MY DAUGHTER SO SOON---GOD BLESS YOU TOMMY AND ALICE

Thanks so much for posting. I am beside myself with imagining the grief that must be felt by there family and friends. If this video taught me anything, it is that I want a love that will endure like theirs. I will settle for nothing less. Even though GOD saw fit to call her home, she was lucky enough to find a love so deep. May she rest in peace....

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with the world. This just shows that unconditional love is still alive today. I pray God's blessings on the Draft and Rutledge families as you continue to forever celebrate her wonderful life. This love is a testament to us all. God Bless You All!

This is a very touching story, when it seems that true love no longer exists, especially with athletes...this story can provide hope that all is not lost. GOD blessed Chris with Keasha...a man that finds a wife, finds a good thing. She was also blessed to have Chris. This is truly inspirational and I pray for GOD's continuing Grace over the Draft and Rutledge families..

This was the SWEETEST story I have ever seen!! ((tears)) Dreams really do come true!

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the married coulpe. Chris is an example of a real man, who stands beside his woman no matter what the situation is. May God continue to be your guiding light.

Im still crying after looking and reading this story!!!! This is the most Romantic thing I have ever seen in my Life true Love is the Best Love........

WOW...almost too choked up and eyes filled with tears to type...oooohhh BUT GOD! Although, this beautiful young lady had to endure the pain of this horrible disease, she was still so very blessed with unconditional love here on earth and is now "living" eternal and really experiencing what we strive to only get. Get it Keasha! Chris, you are truly a man of value, character and strength. What a wonderful example that you have set and definitely set the bar for so many. God is definitely pleased with you young man. God has blessed you with such a beautiful heart and it appears that she made it easy for you to love her. Chris you ROCK! TEAM DRAFT!!

God's richest blessings to you and the Draft and Rutledge families! The beauty of your love will live on to inspire and teach others what love truly means! Thank you for sharing and I will be praying for you all! She was a beautiful and loved bride on her special day!

This video shows the value of a real man and it shows that real and true love does exists. My heart and prayes goes out to both families May God continue to strengthen you.

I love, love! And this was truly love......My heart goes out to the family, especially Chris who would forever miss his BEST FRIEND! May God continue to keep him and allow him to move forward without knowing that her spirit lives within him!!!!After watching this video, it definitely gave me many reasons to love my husband more than i loved him today......(Awesome Video)

If only I could stop crying long enough to type this letter. The love shared between those two, was really awesome. You can see it in the way that he looks at her, his heart was hers until death did they part. Sometimes I wonder if cancer will be the end of my life. Then I fight that thought. Regardless of how my life ends, I think my husband will love me as much as Chris loved Kaesha. He never fails to let me know how much he loves and needs me and I want to be around for many years to come, just to hear him say, "Honey, I love you now and until the end of time."

Our prayers of healing are out to the Draft and Rutledge family. Amen

I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. (In Memoriam:27, Alfred Lord Tennyson)

I am so moved my the love that was illuminated in their relationship. I wish for a love by a man like they had. *tears streaming still*

Love stories come along everyday but , there are Love stories like this one that shows you it was true love from the begining.This couples love you could tell was eternal. Mr Draft ,I am sure you will miss your wife (Mrs.Draft) God 's eternal love for her was far greater than we know .My family looked at your Love Story and after wards we prayed for you ,that God would give strength in the mist of it all ,that your life would be filled with love ,passion and the drive to fullfill in your life with the love of God to keep you going when the days ahead may not be so bright just remember the good times and that God is able to wipe away your tears. Thank you for sharing your Love Story with the world .

This is a TRUE Love story..Chris u did the right thang 2 stay wit keasha through the upz and downs n lyfe..u r a GREAT GREAT GREAT man..#R.I.P. Keasha R.Draft!!

Its great to know that somebody can love a person so much that has a condition like that. I currently know somebody with cancer and believe me its not an easy task trying to be there for them but with God and prayer im still holding on to be there for them...they have their moments but I still try to influence them to keep on pushing and letting them know everything will be ok. I think the most important part to them is just being by their side! God bless the family of the former Falcon and wife!

Beautiful STORY........I am still in Tears.This gave me Hope there is still TRUE LOVE OUT there! I am sending up Prays for the FAMILY!

I can't put in words how this story made me feel. It is so touching to see the loved that was shared. My heart is so full right now! She was a beautiful lady and my prayers go out to your family, May God continue to Bless you all!

This captured my heart! My eyes are still full of tears! She was a very beautiful lady! R.I.P Angel!

One word!Awesome!Tears!!!

What a true Man of God. I'll never forget, when I met Chris on I-85 Gwinnett County, GA when he saved a man's life from a burning car. At the time a I was a News Photographer for 11Alive News. I knew then it was something special about this Man. Chris risk his life the saved someone else. Sir, you are living testimony. My heart and prayers goes out to you and both families. I pray this will uplift you Sir, facing life alone. 1 Corinthians 7.25-38; 1 Corinthians 12. 1-31. Experiencing the death of a love one. Job 19. 25-27; John 11.25-27; John 14.1-7; Romans 8.31-39; Romans 14. 7-9; 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18. I pray that God will give the Families peace, healing and rest. Job well done! Sir. Job well done. God bless you. Simon Shuman p.s. Now that's "REAL LOVE."

Wow!!!!! That was soooo BEAUTIFUL! My heart goes out to the Draft Family. Great job....KRJ PRODUCTIONS for capturing Keasha's Beauty, Personality and Full Essence of a Woman. GOD sent an ANGEL to not only be a Blessing to her Family but to EVERYONE that has Viewed this site. When I see My HUSBAND today, I'm going to kiss him a little bit ( well, a lot a bit) (Lol) longer, hold him tighter and tell him how much I Appreciate and Love him. This is a Love that has TRULY left a mark on me. Chris, thank you for sharing your HEART with us and for teaching us.............. What Love Has To Do With It.

I became so full from viewing this story! Chills ran through my body. God bless them and the families! This is a remarkable stroy! It really makes you think twice about the petty arguing and fighting! Thanks so much for sharing!

My GOD keep you and she look happy to the end,you can tell you were her angel.

What a great love story, Love to you and your family

I am in ahh over this story my prayers go out to the Rutlegde and Draft famlies this story touched so deeply, I thank you for sharing a little peace of your angel!

This was awesome!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video with others that you do not know. This video should let everyone know that life here on earth has an ending date, but we don't know the day nor the hour that God is going to call us home. May everyone love like it is your last day! God called home His angel, Keasha. My prayers go out to the Draft and Rutledge family. May God continue to bless and keep you through this difficult time.

Words cannot explain how I'm feeling this moment. I watched both videos, the 1st wen she was living life full of joy, haivng a good time. Laughing, smiling, joking around, and showing loving embraces to all that knew her. When I looked at the video the day Keasha and Chris exchanged their vows, a piece of my heart dropped. This vibrant beautiful young woman life was taaking tool by her illness. I cried the moment I seen her in the wheel chair, from the time she was getting dressed, to sitting in the chair inside the church exchanging vows, even pouring all her strength that she had to enjoy her reception. As a woman of God, sunday school teacher, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, firend to many, love is a very powerful concept of everyones life. In today's society people take love for granted, and use it as their own personal tool. When you learn how to love someone unconditionally, the agape love that God want us to have, then you know you have grown spiritually. I turly admire Chirs for his growth in attitude, behavior, emotions, mind, spirit, and responsibility. Chirs, honor and valor of true love for Keasha speaks true matters of the heart. My love, blessings, and heart goes to both families. Chris, your forever in my prayers man-of-God. My the Lord bless you abundantly, and you continue to prosper in journey called life. I know that your wife is smiling upon you and thanking you for giving her a beautiful lasting moment. Be Blessed

the perfect song playing.... she was such a beautiful person! her spirit radiates in every photo.... sorry about your loss... makes you really think about life and what is most important...... Loosing her the world has lost a true gift! Life is so precious..... and every moment should be cherished! May God give the Draft and Rutledge family peace and tranquility during this trying time!

Words cannot explain how I’m feeling this moment. I watched both videos, 2nd montage video when she was living life full of joy, haivng a good time. laughing, smiling, joking around, and showing loving embraces to all who knew her. When I looked at the 1st video the day Keasha and Chris exchanged their vows, a piece of my heart dropped. This vibrant beautiful young woman life was taking a toil on her for the illness. I cried the moment I seen her in the wheel chair, from the time she was getting dressed for the wedding, to sitting in the chair inside the church exchanging vows, even when she was pouring out all her strength she had just to enjoy her reception. As a woman of God, sunday school teacher, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, firend to many, love is a very powerful concept of everyones life. In today’s society people take love for granted, and use it as their own personal tool. When you learn how to love someone unconditionally, the agape love that God want us to have, then you know you have grown spiritually. I truly admire Chirs for his growth in wisdom, attitude, behavior, emotions, mind, spirit, responsibility, but most of all his love for Keasha. Chirs, your honor and valor of true love for Keasha speaks true matters of the heart. My love, blessings, and heart goes to both families. Chris, your forever in my prayers man-of-God. May the Lord bless you abundantly, as He continue to prosper you on your journey called life. I know that your wife is smiling upon you and thanking you for giving her a beautiful lasting moment together and one. Be Blessed

life does not last always but the love we share with those who have lived will live forever and always in our hearts. eternal love will spand the test of time. your angle is in heaven and will always be there to guide and protect each and everyone of you. her physical life has ended but her spiritual live in in the heavens for all to enjoy always. god is always on your side stay strong and alway keep his faith. my prayers and blessing go out to you all. may god shed his light to brighten all of you darkness. be bless and know that you angle is watching over you.

Wow this story has really touched me. What a beautiful young lady, what a beautiful couple. The true meaning of love. Just looking at the video of moments of her life told me that she was an awesome person. Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is a true reminder that life is too short and we really should treat each day, each hour, each minute, each second as if it's our last. I'm still crying because I am guilty of forgetting just that. God is so good. He gives us these reminders when we most need them. Today I got my reminder and I thank you and pray His blessing upon you for sharing this with the world. My heart goes out to the Draft and Rutlege family.

Chris, I don't know you but thank you for allowing me to share your happiness even for a minute. I have smile, cried, and laughed at the wonderful photos of you guys Beautiful 'Black Love'. It is clear to me that you must be a god-fearing man for there are many, male or female that wouldn't have done with you did for love. I have battled 6 years of illness that's lead to 11 surgeries and only by the grace of God and his mercy, I am here. 3 yrs into something I didn't do nor wish upon myself my husband one day just walked out bc he didn't like the person I became when I got sick, as if I have any control over what God had in store for my life before I was even in my mother's womb. The blessing in it all was, 2 months after my ex walked out, the doctors started finding the problems, henceforth, I now know that sometimes we can have the wrong person in our lives that actually blocks your healing/blessings. I lost nothing but won everything. Hats off again to you and your family has my sympathy and will definitely be in my prayers.

First off sorry to Chris for his lost. I don't see how he is a hero for doing something he should have done a long time ago. He knew she was dying so marrying her was easy. If he had marry her knowing that she was going to live for a long time and he had to take care of her will be heroic. This is no great love story, you are all blind.

OMG.., this story has really touched my heart. I'm sitting here filled with tears in my eyes. This kind of love can only be from God. I'm so sorry for your loss, however she was truly blessed to have someone love her unconditional to the very end. I pray that you will cherish the time you shared an continue to allow her to live in your heart. My prayers are with you an her family as well. God bless, an may the strengthen of God an family comfort you in this time.

PRAISE GOD!!! WHAT A MAN.....HE HONORED HER WISHES TO MAKE HIM HIS BRIDE, GOD BLESS YOU CHRIS, BUT SHE HAD TO BE AN AWESOME WOMAN. SHINE ON MRS. DRAFT YOU HAD REAL LOVE ON EARTH NOW SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN, UNTIL YOU REUNITE AGAIN.

Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply a beautiful love story!

I didn't know this strong beautiful black woman but looking at the footage of the wedding and her pics, I feel as if I did!!!! She was beautiful inside and out. Fun loving, full of sincere beauty from within and doing the very thing that brought her joy which was dancing. Even though the sickness took it's toll, she still had enough courage to marry the man of her dreams. She could of thought not to burden you Chris with health concerns but the LOVE IS/WAS GENUINE. I didn't see this as Chris trying to be a hero, I see it as you were doing what possibly had been planned but for some reason placed on HOLD! The pics of you two together speaks volumes to me, YALL WERE HAPPY TOGETHER!!! (To ksp, U MISSED IT!!!) Chris, I love pics and I watched your smile before the wedding and after...IT NEVER CHANGED, YOU LOVED THIS BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN! May God grant you peace that no man will understand.

I read about this tragedy but after seeing these videos I see the deep love and compassion that is shared between a man and women. The heart of true love is shown through the love she is able to give at all times of happiness and sickness. I know it has to be hard to loose someone Chris that you love so much, but you have shared a love like no other. God picked her for you and I know your lives were enriched. I will pray that GOD see you through this but when you look back on your lives together it will fill with happiness. WOW, I wish that I will experience this type of love before I am called home to be with my GOD. Many prayers for you and your family but feel the love in your heart forever.

This is a wonderful love story...I cried from the beginning to the end of the story. My prayers to the the family for strength. Most importantly remember that God make no mistakes, and he will not put you through more then you can handle.

The bible says when a man findeth a wife he findeth a good thing! The same is true for woman. I had to take a moment and compose myself because I became so full. This is truly a love story and it helps renew my faith in real unconditional love. In goodtimes and bad and through sickness and health. Keasha and Chris lived those words before the ceremony even took place. You can just see it in them. No man knows the day nor the hour. I can't express the unselfishness on both their parts. They traveled on a journey in a short amount of time some of us may never experience in a whole lifetime. Im grateful they shared and I pray that I experince a love like theirs someday.

What an amazing testament of Love! I am sure this Man and This Woman Loved each other you could see it in There eyes. Love is Self-less real love is Pure. I respect the power of their love and I am sure She will remain in his heart for always. God bless you . I hope you know how much she really loved you. Her Smile said it all! To live and to Love and to Laugh. These are the Things that bring us Happiness.

I do not know anything about this young man, but I love him for LOVING HER. Thank You for being a great human being.

I cried, this made my heart so full. I was always wondering were there anymore black men left that loved so hard and so deep and true...I can't stop crying. I feel so sad that she had to go to soon. I've always yearned for strong, passionate true love and this man loved her no matter what and he proved it. I pray for his strength to move foward only God can help in this matter. Someone shared this story on FB and I'm so glad she did. I'm so lost for words right now. He is what true love demostrates.

Wow she's a Rutledge, I bet she's in my family! Wow!! That name isn't that common!! And the story...wow If she has decendants from Alabama...yeap! #FLOORED

My heart goes out to the Draft and Rutlege family! Chris, my brother in Christ, I did not know you personally but God speed to you! I'm a married man of 11 years and I could not imagine losing my wife, however I can identify with your pain! I lost my mother suddenly to cervical cancer on 12-21-2007! She was diagnosed 4-16-2007 and given false hope that she would beat it! God never brings you to it and not bring you through it! God bless you my brother and peace be still!

May The Creator continue to be with the Draft and Rutledge family. Th pictures and video are beautiful. She was a beautiful person.

I am so touch by this. My prayers goes out to him and both families. To have and to hold someone special that is one of kind. I dont wish this on my worst enemy. Some never find this rare love.

WOW...There are not enough words to express how Chris & Kesha's story has touched me. I have a similar story with the exception that Mark & I did not have a chance to marry. In 1985, I met Mark at the Riverfest festivity. I was working beside with while we were in our booth. He was selling T-shirts and so was I. Mark began flirting with and teasing me jokingly. He would asked me out a date and I would turn him down because I was in college and did to not have time except for the weekend. We exchanged phone numbers and began a wonderful friendship. He was a loving caring person that I grew fond of. My kids adored him. He was a loving father who had three of his own. There was song that Mark and I loved called "Weekend Girl." ....can't remember the artist name but it was our favorite song because I would not go out with Mark until the weekend. Nearly a into our friendship, Mark and I spent New Years Eve together and that's when I fell in love with him. There was nothing that Mark would not do for me. He was the man I knew I could live with for the rest of my life. Unfortuately things did not pan out as I would have wanted but Mark and I remained friends for a decade. In 1998, I decided to leave Ohio to attend to pursue my Bachelors Degree, Mark was not happy about me leaving but understood. He was always supportive of my dreams. In November 1999, Mark informed me that he was battling stomach cancer. Devastating of the news, I wanted to quit school to take care of him but he would not let me. Every trip back home I made sure I would spend time with him. In the summer of 2000, I spent my time caring for Mark. In August 2000, I had to return school but in October 2000, I spent my birthday with him. The following month in November, his best friend Bomani called me with the sad news that Mark had passed. Mark was the man I should have married. He was everything I desired in a man. He was kind, loving, caring, and devoted to his children and love the business of meeting people and founded a Book Fair every year during the the Black History month. Mark remains in my heart and always will. He was the love of my life who hold dear to my heart. To Chris, if you ever find love again, don't wait to marry her...cherish her for as long as you both live. Lettie

My condolences to the Draft and Rutledge family! This is a touching story! This story made me think about life! Life is too short! And, tomorrow is not promised!

Heavenly Father, be the comfort and peace for the family and this young man who's love has departed.

It was my pleasure to have a CHANCE to VIEW the GIFT of GOD at WORK. When a MAN finds a wife HE OBTAINS FAVOR with the LORD. Chris and Keasha both are GIFTS of the LORD. I pray that the POWERFUL message REACHES others before it is to late. Chris I pray that you will NOT allow this GLORIOUS moment in time not go by without writing the STORY of HOW you OVERCOME the pain that other MEN may learn from your EXAMPLE. Thank you for BEING the ONE to teach others and allowing me and so many others to share the LOVE that GOD has given the both of you. I pray that all that she is to you will give others HOPE that may be facing like fate of life. YOU HAVE GIVEN HOPE to the HOPELESS. THANK YOU for being a light in DARK PLACES of others. YOU and YOUR LOVELY BRIDE have CHANGE THE WORLD. As she has transition from this place she has left her story for GOD'S GLORY. Be BLESS in all that you do to continue to UPLIFT WHO SHE IS TO YOU and those who LOVES you BOTH.

Chris, my prayers are with you and your family.May the peace of God keep you strong through it all... Kelly

I started crying the minute the music started playing. If this story didn't in some way teach you something, then you missed a whole lot. I have no clue what its like to lose a spouse, but in hearing this story it makes me take my vows a whole lot more serious. I have been married going on 4 yrs and I am still in love. This shows me that no matter what goes on in life to cherish those who are in it, From the wedding video to the pictures memorial she always had a smile on her face, Even when she got sick she still had that beautiful smile, This came at the right time. I am beginning a new chapter in my life and this gives me hope. There are still people in love (especially black folks) and I want to continue to improve in my relationship, My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Rutledge and Draft familes. I pray that God gives you strength in the midst of this storm, Know that He has an angel watching over you from heaven, Thank you for sharing this with the world. i really needed this.

I love this lady! She was my friend and I am deeply sadden. She was a joy to be around. I know when she loved you she loved you. She supported me when I ran for office and encouraged me constantly. I know she is in a better place and am blessed to have known her. Chris thank you for loving my friend!!!!

Wow this was absolutely a beautiful love story and my heart goes out to him and her entire family watchin this made me feel like life is way to short to be fighting wit ur spouse and that's something tha ive been doin for tha past year and watchin this reminded me of all this so I say thx u very much and may her souls 4 ever Rip

Such a beautiful story, I could not stop crying, true love like this is a very rare thing, I'm glad to know that these two people were kind enough and special enough to share their life and their joy with complete strangers. Wish you all the best Chris and I am very sorry for your loss as well as Keasha's family. God Bless

My condolences to the Draft and Rutledge families. May GOD grant you peace and understanding as you celebrate her life.. The pain she once felt is no longer and her soul is dancing in the air. I so wanted to take a minute to address the carelessness of the tounge. (ksp) It wasn't about him being a hero. It was about him loving her through it ALL; UNCONDITIONALLY! I hope that you too will one day experience being totally devoted and freely giving yourself away. We must continue to fight and find a cure for this disease. Thanks for sharing just a little of who she was with us,

Gods Love*True Love, my Heart is Touched(Tearsrolling). Chris, God knows Best and stay stronge.Praying for You and Keasha Family to Hold On to GOD Unchanging HAND...susie m reid

My sincere condolences to the Draft and Rutledge families in the loss of Keasha. This was a true love story that not only brought the two of them together but their families as well. They were blessed by God to become married and become as one. This story brought tears to my eyes because it was so sweet. God Bless each and every one of you.

I can't stop crying and sharing this wonderful story! Everyday we take for granted what we have. My heart goes out to both families - May Keasha rest in peace and knowing that she had a family and friends that loved unconditionaly. Blessings to you all.

My heart goes out to you and your family life is too short so must treasure every moment this for sure unconditional love.....excellent story and truth. May God Bless you and your family. I have a friend that is cured and husband stayed by her side through it God so there is real and true Love out here.

What a beautiful statement of love. God always works in his own way to show us he still exists, and we are the ones in a state of confusion, In John chapter 4, it says this illness is not unto your death and certainly it applies here. This lovely lady will live forever, and the Draft's have personified true love through God... I will be praying for your Strength Mr. Draft, God will gird you up and make you strong, it will be a while before you realize what you have given to the average man in a relationship, but one day you will realize that your sacrifice was not in vein, you will always be my hero... God bless you and your family. Oh by the way, I have been a little hesitant about asking my lady to marry me, I'm 66 and been divorced for over 25 years and finding it hard to let go of my independence, you have inspired me and I'll be asking her tonight....

My praiser gose out to u and the family cause i know how it cause i lost my mother to the same thing and i know it hurt u right now but god is there to hill ur pain and keep u moving along in the football field i don't know u but i have more love for u and ur family u are in my praises

I am in tears Keasha's strength has shown me to keep up the fight I have with Multiple Scerlosis (MS). My prayers to the Draft and Rutledge families.

What a beautiful love story! Thank you my Heavenly Father for putting such beautiful, loving people together. There souls were truly as one. Chris and Keasha's love story is a true testament that true love does exist and can grow even stronger. Chris Draft is truly a man of God.

WOW!! That is love. I felt the love from the pictures and video. I pray that a cure for cancer will be found soon. I pray that Chris will love that way again and I pray that Keasha is resting in peace. I hate what happened to her. She looked as she was full of life and loved by everyone. Why does these things seem like they happened to great people. Chris if you ever read this, please know that you are in my prayers.

I had the hardest time watching this video, what a true love story! You Mr. Draft are a man amoung men and you are to be congratulated for the way you loved you Queen and now Angel. Looking at all the pictures of Keisha shows what a life she was and always had a beautiful smile that lite the room up. Continue to hold the love you have for you wife in your heart and know that now she is your guiding angel. You give me hope that true love is possible if I am patient....God Bless you and your families!!!

I'm crying !!! Oh father in heaven may they both make it to the Kingdom where there will be no more pain no more suffering and no more death! To God be the glory!!!

Im am so touched by this story...barely can comment because I'm still crying... Their is real love out there...n when you get it love unconditionally because this could have been one of us!!!god bless the draft family in prayers!!! Tears

This is so beautiful! It instantly brought me to tears. It's so wonderful to be loved. R.I.P Keasha and my prayers are with Chris and the family. :(

this is so very touching. it brung me to tears. she looked beautiful and they both looked so happy. my condolences to Chris and to both families. may god give him the strength he needs and may she rest in peace.

This love reminds me of my favorite movie "The Notebook", and I would always dream and hope to someday have a "Noah" - A Truly Unconditional Loving man...never leave my side; taking good with the bad. You're real life story with real peopl gives me hope that my "movie-fairytale" wish with actors and a script could come true one day! The montage was beautiful! To not know someone personally and be able to recognize through photos what a wonderful person/wife she was! You You and your family are in my prayers!

Chris and Family, This is a very touching life experience. Unconditional and long lasting is the love you and Your wife share. May God be pleased with you and the family and how well you stayed right there for and with her throughout her life. I recently married my soulmate and the expression of love you have for her, my husband and I bear witness to...Thank you so much for sharing! Stay strong Brother...Stay strong...

My sincere condolences to her family and friends. From watching the videos posted, I can tell that she was loved by everyone around her. I am happy to know that she was loved, appreciated and supported. It is so sad to see such a vibrant person to be taken away so soon. We all should remember to be grateful for our lives because we never know how long we really got left. God bless her soul!

I have never heard about this beautiful couple (inside and out beautiful), until today as I read website news. Chris and Kiesha seemed to be such a deserving young couple full of promise. My heart goes out to you, Chris, and your family. Together, it seems you created some pretty amazing "happenings". To Chris: Kiesha may have been in your life for a short time, but the essence of who she is and her soul will always be with you. There was a divine purpose why you two met and created the short life you had together. God will reveal the reason. Every day was precious and you are/were both blessed to have found each other. My deepest condolences to you and your families ~ Jean

I totally agree with "Insightful One". Maybe Chris and Keisha's true message, and reason why they got together, was to express how important and precious a loving relationship can be. Live every day like it's your last and appreciate every moment two loving beings have on earth. Really, appreciate all the loving relationships we all have with others. Live in the present!

Smiling til the very end...the beautiful and loving Mrs. Draft. Thank you for sharing. The video photo montage was absolutely heartwarning. Memories to be cherished for a lifetime.

Chris, you and your family are in my prayers. This is truely a love story. I was diagnoised with kidney cancer 5 years ago when I was only 30 years old. Eventhough my husband and I are close it brought us even closer. Stay strong and just know that she is in a much better place. God makes no mistakes.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Chris. You are awsome for loving her to the end. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing this story.

I usually don't make comments on line but this story moved me. My first thought was this is true black love but then I realized this was love that crosses any boundaries no matter what color. This a beautiful story and I want my daughters to see this story to see what true love and a real man really is. As a single woman this gives me hope that there are still good men out there and true love still exists. Keasah was a beautiful bride and It touches my heart to see her dreams come true.

Chris, as of Dec. 30th, my husband and I have been married for 361/2 years. Marrying my childhood sweetheart, we've had many highs and lows in our relationship and our love is as strong today as it was the day we married. I said all that to say this. You and Keisha experienced the same kind of love in your marriage of one month. Many people spend a lifetime without experiencing that kind of love. Chris, know this. YOU ARE TRULY A HERO! Not because of your status as an NFLer, but because of your status as: HUSBAND, LOVER, FRIEND and most of all, MAN!!!!! Keep your love forever and be blessed! Mary Copeland-Lampkin

Mr. Draft, may the peace of God comfort you in the moments where no one can see or reach the deepest places of sorrow.... What a wonderful loving man to give your love her final request and with such elegance. Man of God you are blessed and highly favored. This video was such an awesome of expression of true love!!! Thank you for sharing, Ledra

Iv never heard of this couple till now... Pictures tell stories.... I see such a wonderful, heart warming amazing woman who appears to have such an outstanding personality... She seemed full of live and loved her dear ones and I understand why her partner wanted her to be his wife... What an amazing man and inspiring couple, I feel honoured to have shared 7minutes of your lives... Your loved ones are lucky to have known such a unique character. Thank you for sharing this video :-) love Zoe xxx

I DON'T KNOW YOUR FAMILY BUT AS I WATCH YOUR LOVING VIDEO MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR LOVE IS EVERLASTING YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE IS WITHOUT PAIN ALTHOUGHT YOU ARE KEEP THE FAITH THAT SHE IS AT PEACE WITH THE MIGHTY GOD FOREVER BE BLESS REMEMBER ALL YOUR WONDERFUL TIMES YOU WAS ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOUR ANGLE

GOD Bless you Chris! What a beautiful love story. The love you and Keisha had for each other permeates through these videos. I could feel the loving and caring spirit she had for life and others as I viewed each video. GOD lead you guys to each other for a reason and he made sure that love would be shared with the world. Your family is in my prayers.

Just ran across this story and it held my attention by the sweetness of this couple and the unmovable love they have for one another. They are truly the models of what true love is all about. Keith, I don't know you ,but you are my brother in Christ, may you find peace in the love of Jesus Christ. God Bless you and your's and Keshea's family.

Correction, the wrong name was entered, Should be Chris instead of Keith.

Chris...you truly have the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart. Cancer is a very obnoxious disease when it makes its presence known. It robs one of all that it can, but the one thing that it cannot take away is one's will to smile and live out their life til there is no more. You can see that on Keasha's face in your wedding video and each of the beautiful pictures of her. One can tell that she was a very happy person. Her smile says it all. What an awesome gift to give a woman to be made one with her spouse as a wife. To be made ONE no matter what the issues are in this life. I don't know you at all but I can only believe that you chose to do that because of your deep and abiding love for your Keasha. That is what Christ did for us. What an amazing testimony. This has touched my heart so much because 2 years ago today I lost my baby sister, 29 years old, to cancer. She never got to experience the love of a man so genuine. I wish she could have. Thank you, thank you, thank you for proving to the world that there are some men out there that truly have the heart and love of Christ in them. I pray that the God of heaven and earth will mend your broken heart and fill it with the love of your family and friends as you mourn the loss of your best friend and wife Keasha Draft.

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING LOVE STORY,SHOWING US HOW AWESOME GOD IS AND HOW HE WORKS GOD BLESS BOTH FAMILIES IN THEIR TIME OF LOSS

I did not know either of them personally, but she looks like she was amazing beautiful woman with so much fight in her! My prayers and thoughts are with both their families.

My prayers go out to you and the Rutledge family. I watched you and Keasha's Wedding video and i am still crying. Every marriage should be special and this should teach those who are married to cherish the love of their life. I am not married but this gives me a new respect for marriage. You can find true love. Your story is evidence of that. Keasha is resting now without pain in God's Kingdom. God bless you Chris.

chris was really an inspirational man. keasha was trully a lucky woman to have known him. may her soul rest in perfect peace, amen. love to her family- immediate and relations alike. Trully a love story and shows how love can encompass all things good in this time and generation

CHRIS, MAY GOD KEEP YOU. YOU ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN....WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH YOUR STORY HAS TOUCHED ME & MY FAMILY. WITH MY WEDDING BEING ONLY 18 DAYS AWAY, I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT MY HUSBAND LOVES ME HALF AS MUCH AS YOU DID YOUR WIFE. I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NAME...BUT I PROMISE...I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS. I KNOW KEASHA IS SMILING DOWN,PROUD TO BE YOUR WIFE.MAY GOD KEEP YOU UNTIL YOU ALL MEET AGAIN!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss watching these videos I had to stop so many times as I have loss my sister to breast cancer 8/22/11 she was only 39 years old watching this just hurt my heart and it took me back Kesha reminded me so much of my sister I had to keep pausing the video to get myself together I know what you are going through and the road that lies ahead. One thing is for sure is that know you will see her again as God asked to take her place at his side, Chris please know she is with yiou always and one day you will see her again I know one day God will ask me to take my seat at his table and I will see my sister again. God has a higher purpose for Kesha and my sister Chanise may God keep you and Bless you in your time of need.

This was the most beautiful act of love that I have ever seen. I am impressed and encouraged that real love does exist. God Bless your family!

I've typed an entire book to let you know that there are people today that married and are complacent in their life that do not understand that some women would give their life despite k's illness just to be love the way that you loved her to death do you part you tokk those ever so faithful vows and made them what they are and what they stood for.I was only browsing the internet and came up on the story of a life time and yours was must i say one to remember through the good and the bad through the thick and the thin but most importantly for better or for worst through death do us partYou could only see the joy and the happiness t hrough the video and the clips if pictures she was in deed happy through it all may god continue to bless and hold you through it all and may in time your heart be made whole. love may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning! be bleesed and I love you for your story! We all have people in our lives here with us who takes you for granted and wer are here but I felt an empytiness in my heart I would have love to felt the love that was shared between you two, I've been married for

I returned to work on 01/03/12 and saw the story.......My heart has been so-o-o-o heavy since then. I am hurting for both of them but have seen the true meaning of 'UNCONDITIONAL LOVE'. It has hurt me so, that I watch both videos daily - the wedding and the tribute to Keasha. I will FOREVER pray for Chris, Keasha and every member of their families. Chris, know that Keasha is sitting high and is smiling down at you. You two will always have each other's love & memories.
