God called you home because you loved him so. The father heard his son Alvin's sweet voice, I'm ready. Your absence from that old earthly body allowed you to be forever in his presence. Reverend Guest, you will forever be in our hearts. From Bolton Street Baptist Church to First Corinthian, you told us all about your love for Jesus. Then you showed us in the way that you lived and loved us too! Mrs. Guest he's home now, I can see that smile of his. Our prayers are with you and your family.

To the Guest family,



I had the pleasure of knowing Rev. Guest for a very long time. I worked with him when he attended the Ruth Byck Adult DayCare Center. He always enjoyed our singing sessions and our time with Dana for music therapy. He always asked "when is my wife coming for me" she knows I have things to do. He truly will be missed.



May God keep and bless your family.

Dear Rev. Guest,



I love you so much and I miss you greatly. Thank you for being a father to me for 25 years. I appreciate everything that you've done for me as well as my mother when she was here with me. You were one of the nicest and most honest people that I think I will ever run across in life. I will always be your "angel" and your "first baby blessed". Until we meet again...
