Words can never express the pain that a lost of a love one leaves - especially when it's a sibling - it's like the chain has been broken. I say to you sisters and brothers of Keith - continue to stand strong and draw even closer together now and forever. To Mrs. Keith Wilkerson, Keith's parents,children, friends and other relatives -Be stong and know that I am praying that God gives you the strength to endure- and know for sure that he is not lost - because we all know that a smile like Keith's can only be in heaven. I have known Keith since the days of Dove Court-and that smile was there then and there a year ago when I saw him last-Let it be known that he continues to smile on each of you as you go through your days ahead. May the peace of God be with you all

I would like to offer my deepest condolence and prayers to the family in this hour of need

Keith was such a special person. I will miss him coming into the office with that big smile and he always spoke to everyone, even though he was "on a mission" to do or get something, and out the door again.
My prayers and deepest sympathy for the family, and know that God sees exactly where you are and will meet your
every need. Matthew 5:4 says, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they should be comforted."

Amanda,
My prayers are with you and your family during this great loss. Keith was a wonderful man who was dedicated to his family and to his work. It was an honor to know and work with Keith Wilkerson. Those of us who were considered his friend were truly blessed, he will be missed by many. I'm sure my darling husband Charles was one of the first to greet Keith in Heaven! Please let me know if I can do anything to help ease your pain.

Robin, Carlton, Duane, Kefawnda & Michael,
No one truly comprehends the loss that you feel, the sadness that you must be going through... And yet, warm thoughts are reaching out in hopes that you will know the strength and comfort that this wishes you.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
