My thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are with the Keffer and Racer families. I will be forever grateful for having had the pleasure to call Nate my friend over the years. It is an understatement to say that he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

My thoughts are with the Keffer and Racer families during this difficult time. I knew Nathaniel since our grade school days at St. Vincent's, and I can truly say that Nathaniel's giving nature and winning smile weren't something he developed in adulthood; they were his gifts to the world since he was a tiny child! We'll miss you, friend.

My condolences and prayers go out to all of Nathaniel's family and friends. I have many fond memories of Nathaniel since kindergarten. My mother, Ginny, would always remind Nathaniel & I of a kindergarten photo of the two of us holding hands and dressed in costumes. As embarrassed as we would get by this reminder it has always been one of my favorite stories. I love and miss you Nathaniel.

My words feel so inadequate when thinking about the loss of Nathaniel. I can only offer my prayers for your family during this difficult time. I will always remember Nathaniel with a smile on his face and laughter in his heart because that is how he treated me everyday while I was his classmate at St. Vincent's.
January 25, 2012
Dear Jean,
I am so sorry for your loss...I know that words cannot ease the grief you are feeling. I remember Nathan from when he was a little boy and I would pick him up for you at his daycare center when you couldn't get off work early enough to do so and...I remember how Rex would tease him to get him all wound up. What a precious little boy and I can still see that little boy in his face. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. May God give you peace and comfort.
Much Love...Lori Brady Messinger

Sending love and prayers to the family and friends of Nate during this difficult time. Though I only met Nate a few times, I've known the Keffer family for years and I know they loved him very much. I could tell how great of a person he was and was always looking out for everyone else. I hope that things go as smoothly as possible over these next two days and may the families find peace in knowing Nate is resting easy now.
