A Madison County man lost his cane at a Walmart and needs help because it’s not the money spent on the cane, but the sentimental value that makes it priceless.
It resembles an average cane but to Silas Keen it means the world.
“It’s not the cane. I mean I’ve got canes around here. It’s not that, it’s just what it means to me,” he said.
Keen’s late wife Allene bought it for him during a time when both of their health were deteriorating.
She returned the $5 one he was given and spent $25 on a shiny blue metallic cane. It was the last thing she ever gave him.
It was at the Walmart in Berea where Keen said he put his cane in the shopping cart and forgot it. When he went back, it was gone.

“I would love for someone to find it in their heart to bring it back. Like I say, it’s the sentimental value. It’s the last thing momma gave him,” daughter Sarah Powell said.
They were shopping for Keen’s birthday dinner. He said to have his cane back would be the best gift of all.
They were married for 69 years, he said the best years of his life.
“She was in dying condition herself, no hope for her and we knew she was going to die. She was so concerned about my health, she wanted me to have that cane and to me it means more to me than anyone else,” Keen said.
