Obituary for Keith Alton McAlister

Keith’s obituary and guest book won’t stay online forever, and instead of paying them to keep it online, I decided to reproduce it here, along with the comments received.

I was especially touched by the comment from K. Raybon of South Carolina. No idea who this person is, but they accidentally found Keith’s obituary and decided to leave a note anyways. I will likely never get the chance to thank this person directly, but I would tell them their stumble and 60 seconds of effort to leave a message was very much appreciated.

Dear Janet and Tom,

Please know that you and your family are truly in my prayers. I’m sure so many others at St. Stephen’s feel the same way.

With love and deep sympathy,

Maureen

Words of comfort simply cannot meet the magnitude of your loss, my heart goes out to you and your family. At this time of need may you rely on our Heavenly Father for that needed strength to endure. James 4:8 says Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. Know that he is always there for us in time of need.

Dear Bryan, Elizabeth and Taylor,
We are so sad for the loss of our precious little neighbor. I will miss him coming outside to play, but I know
he will play with all the babies in God’s care and be your special little
angel to watch over all of you. We love all of you and Ginger.

I am so sorry. I was doing a search for someone else and I ended up here. I couldn’t leave without saying that I am so sorry for your loss, and I pray that somehow you are comforted. I am just a stranger that you will probably never meet, but today my prayers are with your family.

Brian, Elizabeth, and Taylor – may God bless your family and comfort you each day. We had no idea about your loss until yesterday at dance. Taylor told Kaylyn, Lexie and I during their Christmas party. We are so sorry. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I pray God will send you joy in place of your mourning.
