Remembering Dalton Keim

William and Jenica,Words can not express how sorry I am for the loss of your son. Please know that we are praying for you and will continue to do so for comfort and strength in the days to come.May the peace that comes only from our Lord give you healing.Abraham

My heart aches for you William and Jenica, I am so sorry for your loss of your precious son Dalton! I pray you may feel peace, comfort, and closeness to our Lord and Savior today and in the days ahead. Praying for you. ~Clara

May God comfort you and give you peace, and restore your joy. No words can sympathize, I only have to let you know I pray for you, from one Christian brother to his spiritual family.God bless you, and keep you.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your child. We don't understand what God has planned for our life, but we do KNOW that He is in control. Makes me think of the puzzle of our lives. We see the back side(all the sickness, hurts, job loss, death, etc.) of the puzzle pieces which is just brown and really don't know where those pieces go.... the Lord sees the other side of the puzzle where the picture is and already knows the complete picture of our lives. He just wants us to trust Him in all things. Praying the Lord will fill the void as only He can do.

Dear William and Jenica.........my heart has ached since first learning of this terrible tragedy. I know your hurt will never go away but rest assured God knew about this long before you did. Your beautiful little boy is now with Jesus, probably sitting on is lap and throwing you kisses from heaven. My thoughts and prayers are and will continue to be with you. God bless you .......Sandy

As a parent, I cannot begin to imagine the pain, sorrow and heartache you are experiencing. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious child. As hard as it may be to grasp or understand, God is still in control. I pray that His mercy and peace will be made known at this time and that through it all you will have a greater understanding of Him and each other. My prayers will be with you!

To William and Jenica.....my heart goes out to you during this difficult time in your life to lose a child. I don't understand the pain you may be going through, but God does. He will walk with you and carry you through this time of mourning your son. I pray that God will comfort your hearts and pour His peace upon you and your family. God Bless, Linda

A friend asked me to include you at our church's prayer meeting last week, and we prayed for you all. So sorry this happened to you. God is holding your son in his arms. Blessings!

My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you and seek God during this trail. God always has a purpose for everything even in the times we can't comprehend the magnitude of the situation. Remain faithful and strong in Christ. With love all the way from Las Cruces, NMKrystyna

Our Prayers continue for your family. Every time I think about the loss you are experiencing it brings tears to my eyes. I can not imagine loosing a child. May God keep you in his care and bless your family richly in the future.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby boy. My heart aches for you! I understand the pain of losing a child. I know it is so hard to understand why this has happened, and some days just seem unbearable, but God will bring you through this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! I am thankful for the hope we have in Him...our babies are safe in the arms of Jesus. Someday you will see your precious boy again! Praying for you, Crystal

William and Jenica and family, I am so very sorry to hear about your Dalton. I hope that you will cling tightly to our Lord, Who also knows the pain of losing a child and holds Dalton in His arms right now. I am praying for you. Love in Christ,

William, Jenica,

I am so sorry for your loss and heartache. Though I don't know you, we know the same Lord and I will be asking Him to bless you with all of the strength, grace, and comfort that you need in these days.

I am so sorry for your loss and heartache. Though I don't know you, we know the same Lord and I will be asking Him to bless you with all of the strength, grace, and comfort that you need in these days.

I am simply lost for words that haven't already been expressed. These things are unexplainable and VERY hard to understand. God has the final say. Stay strong and hold God close. He WILL see you through to a better tomorrow. He will carry you if you will let him. I am so sorry you have to suffer through this. I have and will continue to keep you in my prayers. God Bless.

I just wanted you to know I'm praying for you! I am praying that you really sense God's peace and control! I am so thankful that we have a true hope! I will continue to pray for you in the months ahead!

I am the Treasurer @ East Arlington Baptist Church in Lawrence, Michigan. We have just committed monthly support to Joe and Esther and was looking on website to see where to send check and saw your devastating tragedy. My heart aches for you dear people as I pray that the days ahead bring you sense and purpose to such a senseless accident. Short story: When I was 21 (and lost), my younger brother and I were climbing a mountain in the Ozarks when I slipped on a cliff's edge, bumped into him and he fell to his death-he was 12 years old.. Even though I did not receive Jesus Christ personally until eight years later, God knew me and carried me through those unbearable days. He is your only (and greatest) hope for getting through this and I promise to pray daily that you and your family are able to depend on our Almighty One to bring peace that passes all understanding in the days ahead. We have victory over death in Jesus, Dalton is safe in His arms-lean solely on Him now. I am so sorry for your aching hearts. Because of Christ, Kerri

William and Jenica our hearts go out to you and your family. What a beautiful angel God now has.

William and Jenica, you continue to be in our hearts and prayers. We love you and Malachi.Dee, Arlen, and Joseph

William and Jenica, you continue to be in our hearts and prayers. We love you and Malachi.Dee, Arlen, and Joseph

Dear William and Jenica,I am so, so terribly sorry about your loss of your precious Dalton!!!!!! God bless you all!!!!!!!

Billy

So sorry about your loss. Such a tragedy. My heart and love go out to you all and I know that God will take care of it. It is so difficult to understand and human nature makes us question God. I lost my nephew about 5 years ago and he was like a son to me. I can somewhat understand your pain and your loss. Remember, God is bigger than any situation we have and he will get us through them. Keep your faith in God he will provide. He will be there. Keep your heads up and continue to trust in our Lord and Savior for the strength as well as all the prayers of everyone.

William and Jenica ~ tragities never make sense and especially the loss of innocent children. Please lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus. "He is your strength and peace that passes understanding. I trust you are not blaming God. God is not an author of confusion or harm, but does allow things to happen. We grieve with you and your family during this very difficult time. Many prayers, love and support goes out to you.

My heart breaks for you and your family. I know God is in control, even though we cannot understand why this happened. Go to the Lord as the Rock of your Salvation. Bear your heart to Him over and over. He loves you. The Psalms have been a great encouragement to me in difficult times. Read them, pray them back to Him. Hug your other precious son and comfort him too. We will be praying for you and your family. May the God of peace comfort you in this time.

My prayers go out to you and your family. Just remember he is with God now and has no pain. He is in heaven playing with all the other children called home. He is you little angel now. Rest in peace Dalton.

Praying daily for all of you! Our hearts break with yours.

William and Jenica- We continue to think about your precious loss of Dalton and continue to pray 4 you all. I can not fathom your feelings of loss, but know God loves you both and may you have a feeling of peace and comfort from Him. Love Ralph and Jamie Weaver

We have a curious wild 3 year old too named Jackson...can so relate to this event as our son is also into everything and wants to be a part of everything...of course doesn't know to think before he acts...this could so happen to any young curious energetic little boy...so so sad. So thankful he is in the loving arms of Jesus! Breaks my heart for the parents...to suffer such loss..His ways are not our ways...God is too good to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind...so when we don't understand when we can't see His plan when we can't see His hand trust His heart:)

To the Keim family, may God be with you through this trying time. Be assured that there is sunshine coming. Please remember that our God is an awsome God and even though we can't see or don't know why this happened, there is a purpose in this. Hold tight to His precious hands and He will see you through. Love and prayers in Christ.

At times like this, words seem too inadequate to express the depth of emotion such a terrible accident brings on. But having others walk alongside will make it more bearable. No, you will never forget Dalton, or the incident, but knowing he is with Jesus will give comfort. May the closeness of our Lord strengthen you as you face tomorrow. My prayers are with you. God bless.

I will be praying for you I also have lost a son he was 2 weeks old just know that God worketh all for good that serve the Lord we don't always understand but God will always be there for us. I have found peace in knowing that God has created each of us with a purpose and when our purpose is fulfilled God takes us home. I truely believe that my son's "Malakai Job" purpose was fulfilled in 2 weeks. May God bless you and give you peace and understanding. Just know you are not alone he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Jenica - You probably don't remember me, I went to Crestview with you for a short time (Lindsey Potter). There is nothing I can say to ease your pain. When I heard your name I immediately thought to myself that I always remembered you as being so nice to everyone. Dalton was so lucky to have you as his mom for the time that he did,and you still are his mom. I have prayed for you several times and will continue to. I know you will be reunited with his beautiful face. Until then, that other precious boy you have is lucky to have you both as parents. I don't really have anything else to say, but I just wanted to let you know that you have a huge support system of people you don;t even know.Lindsey Young

Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss.May God comfort you and your family at this most difficult time.I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your heartbreaking loss. Holding you in prayer.

As a mother of young children, my heart aches for this family just as my heart aches for those who are closer to me and know this feeling to have to let go. We can never know all that lies ahead. Father please bring your comforting and understanding of your love to the hearts of these parents and brother. Be with them closely while they greive and show them how to hold on to each other and You for strength and courage. Bless them with peace and happiness and protect them. Amen

I can't stop thinking about your family so sad to hear your lose glad to see all the support you all have.daltons beautiful an memories will last forever in your heart. That picture of you all is so nice.stay strong praying for you all.

Just wanted you to know I am praying for your family. My heart aches for you. We don't always understand why God allows certain things to happen but I do know from experience that it can bring us closer to God if we just lean on Him

Dear Brother William and Sister Jenica- Though our faith is well rooted in our Saviour, pain and sorrow are still enormous when a loved one leaves us.. My prayers for comfort are with you.With love in Christ,A Sister in Christ from Frist Baptist Church of West Salem

William and Jenica ;It is so hard to lose a child. My sympathy to you in your loss. God has gained another ray of sunshine.Dalton. Prayer goes to Our God to bring you comfort.

Keim family: May God bring comfort to you.Losing a child is so hard. I lost a grandson just 1 year ago and almost lost my son at the same time, The hurt is deep and painful.God is the comforter and may you allow your faith in Him to bring that comfort to you.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. Hearts break but God fixes them. Love and Prayers

I am sorry for your loss- i have 2 sons

God Keep you Love

We love you and are thinking / praying God's Peace for you.

May God comfort your hearts with a picture of Dalton sitting on Jesus' lap. Praying for you.Verna

May God continue to hold you close during this trying, hard to understand time! May you feel his LOVE and remember how He is holding you close!

William, Jenica and Malachi,Our family continues to mourn with your family.SO MANY people have been touched by Dalton...and many of those did not know him. Friends, family, and churches are praying for you. Certainly God is using this to further His kingdom. Hold each other close and share what you are feeling...lean not unto your own understanding. Let God use others to comfort you. You are not alone on this journey. God bless you,The Garwood family

As you and your family grieve know that I am thinking of your family and honoring the memory of Dalton.

Dear Keim Family, I met you several weeks ago when you visited our church, Grace Bible. I am so sorry to hear of your tragedy, I can't imagine what you are going through. Though I did also lose my young son, everyone's grief experience is different.I offer my support and assistance if you need it.God Bless You All,Jackie Deems

My heart goes out to you,we have 7 children and love them dearly as I know you loved little Dalton! You will be in our prayers,know that in Montana there is someone praying for you through this difficult time. God bless and keep you,and know that your little son is safe in the arms of Jesus free from all pain free from all tears! The Yutzy's

We have never lost a child so can not feel what you are feeling, we can only imagine........and that is terrible just trying to imagine the grief you feel. I pray God will be your comforter during this very difficult time.

Sorry to hear of your loss, may you find yourselves gently held in God's merciful hands and surrounded by the love of His people.a burn care provider, Rosanna King

Jenica I do not know you but I think about you every day when I am holding my son. I can not begin imagining the heartache of losing him. Tears flow at times when I think of you and your family and I lift you up to our heavenly Father ! Stay strong through this battle. Remember our life here is only a little while then you can spend eternity united with Dalton.

To You, O Lord, we humbly entrust this child, so precious in Your sight. Take him into Your arms and welcome him into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with Your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. William and Jenica my thoughts, prayers and love to you. I am so sorry for your loss. Until that blink of an eye and you all are together once again, may God cradle all of you in His arms and wrap His love around you.

Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Dear William and Jenica, We're grieving with you in South Africa. We also lost a 2 year old, a little girl named Cherish Faith Young, in 2006. Maybe she'll give Dalton a little tour of Heaven, show him the best trees to climb, introduce him to the white horses to ride, and assure him it's all safe there, "pleasure forvermore." We miss Cherish. I remember moaning to my husband, "It was so fast!" She got sick on a Saturday night, and was gone about 24 hours later, of a virus. My wise hubby answered, 'What's the alternative?" We searched the Bible for help, for comfort and for understanding. I made a list of the verses that helped, to pass on to others. 2 Cor. 1:3-4,John 14 16-27, Isaiah 57:1-2, Ps. 34:18, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, Jer. 31:15-17, Ezekiel 18:32.That's not half of them. Should I send more? It is good to search the scriptures for comfort, as the searching and the finding help somehow. "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God even our Father which hasth loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." 2 Thess. 2:16-17.Love,Vicki

William and Jenica, We met you when we were staying at Joe's helping with MAP. We pray for you each even during our family prayer time. May the Lord continue to up lift you and use you mightily in ways you never imagined! You and your family are precious. In HIS Hands, Ken and Sharon, Elizabeth, Anna, and Nathan

I just wanted you to know that you all are in my prayers.

Heavenly Father, put your holy hands around this couple in their time of grief. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for your family. Pat H. From North Texas.

Dear Joe and Jenica,It seems beyond understanding... It is beyond understanding, the pain this accident had caused your family. My deep heart-felt sympathy. We live in a world where there is no explanation for many things. I do not believe that God "caused" this. I do believe that "he cause all things to work for the good for those who love him." My prayer: Oh that you would stay soft to Him and to each other. My advise: Do not allow your grief to become a wedge between these very important relationships. Often people blame God and many marriages break up after the death of a child. Guard your hearts and talk to each other. Bear with each other as you repeat and repeat your feelings. Listen to your other son also as he grieves. As far as I know we've never met, but prayers from Arkansas are going up to heaven (where Dalton is in safe-keeping) for you and yours.

Praying that Gods grace will continue to sustain you and fill you with His peace.

i read about ur story online and offer my condolences. i know how it feels to lose a child because i lost my daughter at 6 months and she was my youngest. i have never been able to get pregnant since and it has been very hard to accept. as a mother i cant tell u it will be easy but hold dear to ur friends and family to get u through it. god bless you and your family

No one will ever know YOUR pain but I hope you can feel my prayers for your family

May the Lord of Creation and our Savior Jesus Christ enter thru the open door created by the window that was closed upon the loss of your Son and give you comfort and hope for a peaceful future

Our hearts aches with yours.May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you, to encourage and lift you up through these hards days.And Jesus said that He would always be with us. ---NO Doubt about that.

My heart goes out to your family. Praying that God will give you all peace, strength and comfort during this difficult time.

I am a neighbor to Perry and Mary Ann. Even though I have never met you, I think of your family almost every day after hearing the sad news. We will continue to pray for you, for the Lord's comfort and healing every day.

sorrry to hear about your loss. its hard to understand why small children have to pass away from sickness,accidents etc. we have to trust in God more and more everyday. May God give u the peace and comfort. remember the good times you had with your son. May God be with you and u may his feel prescence for one day you will see your son again. what a joyous reunion that will be!!!! prayers you and your family.

Oh I'm so sorry about the passing on of little Dalton! I have a little toddler myself almost two years old n I can only try to imagine the pain of your loss! Your little angel need not suffer the pain of his burns anymore but you will need time to heal and the Lord will be your comfort thru it all. Oh I just hurt so bad for you all!! I'm so so sorry!!

With a tear-filled view of the keyboard I wish I could convey "magic" words of comfort and healing... but I cannot. Suffice it to say that the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our precious Savior 'knows' all and has the power to heal and to bring a strengthening of your faith (and those of loved ones). His plan and purpose is much higher than we can readily understand - and He will always do RIGHT! I trust you know Him as Savior and share this thought with you; a trillion years from today you will be with little Dalton - and the Lord will answer completely... the "Why" it was thus! Father bless and comfort. in Jesus' Mighty name! Amen

God bless you . I am so sorry to read of your loss. Time does heal, I know, because I too lost a child. You will never forget, but it will be easier.

My eyes and my heart overflowed with tears for your unimaginable loss. My prayers go out for you. I can't imagine your heartache. Oh how I pray that somehow you can be comforted. Truly God alone can bring you His peace in this time of tragedy and the years to come. May God be with all . . .

Praying for you, are hearts go out to your family.

I have just been reading of the horrific accident of your precious child and I cannot put into words how it made me feel. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and the only comfort I get is to say your child is now safe in the arms of Jesus and one day if you keep in the faith you will see him again. There are no tears in heaven and no suffering. God bless you all. xx Joyce Shanks. N. Ireland.

Our prayers are with you these days as you face the hard trials of the government courts. I want to remind you that God is the ultimate judge and he knows your hearts and how much you love your son. May the peace of The Lord rest upon you and may his blessings be yours. May he soften the hearts of the accusers, and may you rejoice over the power of God as he works out all your struggles to his glory!

Praying for God's grace and strength and wisdom for you as well as wisdom for the court personnel and a desire on their parts for what is pleasing to God.

William and Jenica: Our prayers continue for you as you face this next round. The Lord reminds us in Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." We love you. Dee, Arlen, and Joseph

I just want you both to know that I am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.So sorry that you are having to go through all this on top of losing your precious son.Just keep on trusting the Lord.

Dear William and Jenica,There are no words that will make a difference in times like these, but know that I am praying for you daily! The only thing that keeps coming to mind is "No weapon formed against you will stand" I am praying for God to give you strength and wisdom! We love you!! God's arm is not so short that it cannot save!! Praying that God will rescue you from the snares of the enemy!! Love you all! Barbara

While my children were not killed, they were stolen from us by the same State that is dragging you through court. They lied to that court, and took our kids away. I do feel for you as it seemed like no one wanted us to be given a chance. My own family called us "monsters", for no reason, other then we wanted to see our children. So please, hang in there.

Dear Lord

My wife and I are praying for you.

Dear William and Jenica, Though we will never be able to put ourselves in your shoes we pray that through this tragedy that Christ will be lifted up. As a country we murder baby after baby and call it Healthcare or a choice.... "Dear Lord, I prayer for this couple and ask that You provided them with the peace that truly comes from above. We will never have an explanation on Earth while this happened but rest in the fact that You control all things. I pray for the Keims Lord and help them not to become bitter; as the flesh would desire. As David prayed in Psalms I ask that You "set a watch before their mouths". Lord I pray for comfort, peace and Your justice in this horrific situation. Thank You for the promises contained within your Word. Amen." God Bless the both of you and keep your eyes on the Son.Lou and Shannon SyczLock Haven, PA(Faith Baptist Church in Blanchard, PA)

We are lifting you up for our gentle Savior to comfort you and to help you endure this awful legal trial. We even have prayed twice with John Allen about it. We continue to pray

Approaching God's throne boldly on your behalf! Praying for your own wounds to heal as only Jesus can heal, and for restoration and peace. Lord bless you.

I will keep you before the throe of Grace as you face this trial that only the Lord can sustain you through. I understand to some degree the Loss as we too recently lost our youngest son to Cancer. This hardly compares to what you must be facing as you faced these trials. I know Gods Amazing grace has a way of meeting each need as only he can. a verse the Lord gave me that has comforted and strengthened me is Isa. 50:7 For the Lord will help me; therefore I will not be confounded: therefore have i set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed.In Prayer Pastor Dave Bueckert

Dear William and Jenica, I am praying for you as you have to go into court and through the pre trial. Be strengthened in knowing that God knows your hearts and is with you. I am so sorry for the loss of your little son. It is unimaginable pain that you are going through I am sure and to have to go through all of this court must be numbing on top of it all. Remember that God loves you. You are His children. He will be with you. Speak from your hearts. I will be praying for you. I also have a baby in heaven. It helps me to picture Jesus holding him while they look smiling into each others eyes. Please know your little one is in His arms and is happy and having a great time. It is us left behind who suffer. When we see our babies again all of it will be made clear. Hold on to your faith. We are children of a King. He will be with you when you face the court and you have so many who are interceding to Him on your behalf. Blessings to you.

Greetings cousins - so sorry to hear about the circumstances you are experiencing. Just to let you know you are not alone in your thoughts and prayers. I jpray that this will soon end in a satisfactory manner. What impossible conditions. I will remember you in prayer.Blessing in Jesus' name, Leander

William

Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.Praying for you. My heart just aches for you.

This verse comes to mind for you guys this morning. 1 Corinthians 2 -8 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Dear beloved of God,It has grieved me greatly to read your story and to know that you continue to suffer with being accused of wrong doing. Jesus knows your hearts, He knows how dearly you loved Dalton, and He knows that you never intended to harm him. Your precious boy is with our Lord now, and you will see him again! I am praying for great supernatural peace and wisdom, for you and for your attorney/s. I am praying that the Lord would move the hearts of those in court, who hear your case, and that our Lord would be glorified in this. Proverbs 21:1 says, "The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water;He turns it wherever He wishes." With much love, Kari

Well, to say the least I am horrified to read what has happened to you and your family. I am wondering in which state do you live because I know of two incidences where a parent accidentially left a child in a hot car and the child died in OHIO. I believe the parent was not prosecuted. Many folks thought they should have been....I say what if would have happened to them? or me? I am going to pray that this will be thrown out of court during the pretrial! That the judge will see you have suffered enough between the horrible loss, the accident itself, the monies needed for this defense and the emotional stress put on you all as a couple and family! May our God give you strength and peace during this most stressful time in your lives....For Him!

God bless and protect you and your family. I am keeping you in my prayers.

I am reminded of the song - " I will cast my cares upon You. I lay all of my burdens, down at your feet. And anytime, I don't know, what I should do... I will cast all my care upon You." "Even to your old age and grey hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you." ~ Isaiah 46:4 We are and will be praying for all of you and your family. Rich

I am praying for you in your loss(es) and cares. I pray that God will go before you, and that He would sustain you.

We are praying for you both. There is none greater than our GOD!!!!!

I will pray for you in the upcoming days of these court hearings, may God prevail and may you have peace and may God speak through your lips. Proverbs 3: 5,6 My heart aches for you, this is ridiculous.

Our hearts go out to you with the stress you are facing on top of the tradgety of loosing your son. I pray that God would enfold you in His arms and comfort you as He gives you wisdom and direction of how to respond to this seemingly senseless situation! In spite of the homesickness and grief you can rest assured that your son's destiny is sealed and some day you will meet him again, (assuming you are born again Christians). We lost a precious 10 yr. old grandson very suddenly and unexpected, a year and a half ago, with cerebral malaria, while on the mission field in Africa. He was the only son of our oldest dau. and her husband. May God be with you!

Myself,and the First Baptist Church of West Salem will go before the throne of grace on your behalf. God only knows your pain that you are going through I pray this will make you stronger and in the end glorify Him.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. As parents we do the best we know to do. Most of us are not medical professionals who can assess a health situation with an indepth wisdom. Truth is, many doctors can't either. The fact that you folks tried to help your son shows the love and concern you had and have for him. So many accidents can happen with active children. I know, I have two. On a practical matter, if you feel you have the right lawyer, one appointed by God, the next step is to lay this terrible burden down at the Lord's feet-financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically. If you find you are unable to, ask God and He will give you what you need. That's the wild thing about God-we have to get every single little thing from Him. We have no strength, none. He knows what we need and He gives it if we ask. This is not a demand, it's a privilege we have as God's children. God loves you! God loves you! God loves you!

I had not heard of your tradgity until just now. I am so saddened by all that you are going through. This is an experience that must seem horrible. I extend my sympathy and wish to comfort you with a Scripture verse that God gave me last night. It is the last part of Is. 48:10, "I have tried you and chosen you in the furnace of affliction." (AB) May the Lord comfort you, wrap His everlasing arms around you, and let you know that He has not forsaken you. Jeremaih 31:3 My prayers are with you as you walk through this time of testing. John 14:27 is a big comfort to me, as is Romans 8:28.

The Lord promises that He will never give you more than you can handle. In reading what is going on in your lives it sounds like this is the "more" but I have so much faith in His love for you that He will be with you in court and He will touch the hearts of your lawyer and those lawyers who don't know you as your friends and family do; how precious Dalton was to you and that you would have never put him in harm's way. I am heartbroken that these lawyers could conjure up this charge without knowing both of you. May the Lord open their eyes!You are in my prayers, try to be at peace and let the Lord take care of this.Judith Haraszti

Dear William, Jenica and Malachi,Thanks to Joe, we have received this update! We can't imagine the grief and stress you have been living with. However, the Lord is your Shepherd. He is with you right now. He will be with you in the courtroom and where ever this takes you! He will uphold your testimony before everyone involved. Be strong in the Lord! Our prayers are with you!Tom and Eileen Wilson, Pickerington, OH

A terrible accident, and I cannot even begin to know how you feel, but, Jesus does. Knowing that little Dalton is in The Father's arms, and that He is carrying you and your family through all this, I pray is a great comfort. You have all been in my prayers, though not knowing or realizing the continued battle in court. I will continue prayers through local churches here and even Marietta, Oh. Please know that there are hundreds of arms surrounding you Jenica, William and Malachi. Continue strong in your faith, and Love in the Lord. He will never forsake you. If I can be of some help as well to prayers please let Joe and Esther know. Love in Christ, River Weese, Brewster, OH

God always answers prayer...but not always the way we want. I will pray that the hearing goes in your favor and that the LORD's name is exalted. He will give you strength to do what must be done. STAY STRONG in the LORD.

Many prayers have gone to our Heavenly Father heavenward on your behave. Please know that God has not forgotten your family and He does not make mistakes, I'm not saying that the death of Dalton was His perfect will but He will take the tragedies in our lives and turn them for His Glory. As a Licensed Home Inspector this tragedy has heigthened the awareness the need for these anti-tip brackets to be installed on all units and I'm on a mission to bring awareness to all my clients and collegues. As for the law suit, I can understand justification and there are times and places where the Lord will bless it to bring justice. I pray the Lord will show you the big picture in what He is doing and what He desires to accomplish in all of this in your heart and in the community. This goes without saying, the Lord will not bless any ambition to bring gain to self but rather to bring gain and glory to His kingdom in all forms of righteousness.My prayers and blessings are with you and as a testimony Psalms 34 has brought peace and strength to my soul in times of trouble.

We will continue to pray. So glad His promises are this: "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 Dee, Arlen, and Joseph

One day at a time sweet Jesus. That`s all I am asking of you. May He show you the stairway you have to climb, so for your sake, help them to take one day at a time.

We will keep you in our prayers, William and Jenica. God will meet your needs.

My thoughts are with you and I am uplifting you in prayer. May our lord see you through these trying times and may you always look to him for comfort..Blessed be,Lisa in Columbus,Ohio

Our hearts ache for you, but know that "the cross is not greater than His grace; the storm cannot hide his smiling face...". God is on your side, loves you, knows your hearts, and cares deeply about what you are going through! Isaiah 43:2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Be assured of our continued prayer for you!! Consider yourselves hugged, Mel and Martha

God give you all the grace and blessings that your hearts can hold. I am so sorry you had to experience such a loss and so much heartache..God bless you and your family. Love MaryAnn in new York.

Dear William and Jenica and family I will keep praying for you. do not give up I am not much of a worthy person to give encouragement. I know it does not feel good to your mind and your heart if you know the truth and other people accuses you of doing wrong but the BEST PART OF THIS IS that God will be at your side every step of the way. It might take a while but while waiting remind yourselves that the Truth Will Set You Free. read Jeremiah 5:3

Dear To The Parents of Dalton Keim, I am so sorry for your loss,I will pray to God and His Son to give you peace and comfort in time of need. I am here for you if there is anything I can do to help you.

William and Jenica, Malachi, and Kaelynn Keim,Your all's son and brother is looking down on his family right now as the rest of us lift up his family in our prayers. The picture that God gave me with that thought just now is the picture of you all meeting little Dalton again in the clouds with our Lord Jesus Christ on that Day as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Yes, though He may tarry, that Day is near! May His comfort and blessings be upon you all always! You all are under His protection always! In His precious Name we pray and will continue to hold your family up in prayer; Amen!Yours in Christ, DaveP.S. I used the "and" symbol instead of the word "and" which truncated everything after William. Sorry about that error as I should have known that software can behave badly with the "and" symbol if you are not careful. Everything should appear this time. Blessings again!

I am so sorry. I lost my daughter at age 18.Can only imagine ur pain. Always in my prayers. God Bless U.

William and Jenica..It is so hard to understand the death of a child...and to yet be burdened daily of the stress of court and re opening all of those wounds making them seem as yesterday all over again. It just does not seem fair that you should suffer as you have. My heart aches for you and your family as you continue to grieve the loss of your sweet little boy in more ways than one. He was such a beautiful little boy and now is one of your guardian angels watching over you all till you meet again. God Bless you as you continue to suffer the burden of this....will pray for you and your family...in HIS love...
