Please Pray for Big-Larry, Falla39 and Crakjak
We want to thank each and every one of you who have prayed and held
our family up in prayer during this difficult time. We have felt the peace
that passeth all understanding for certain.
Today, Thursday was the funeral for our beloved brother, John S. Blakey,
He has been a part of our lives for 55 yrs. He worked as a prison guard in
a Texas Maximum Security Unit for the past two years. Today the state
warden and a whole pew of fellow prison guards were there to express their
respect for John. Bro. Ron Liles of Ft. Worth, message was "There Was A Man
Sent From God Whose Name Was John". He told what John's first name
meant and also what his middle name, Stephen, meant also. It was beautiful.
Maybe Big-Larry or Crakjak can remember a bit more in detail as I can't
remember just now. Tired mind tonight! lol,
The Lord God comforted our hearts so beautifully. Big-Larry sang as only
he can ""Welcome Home, My Son". John's pastor brother, David, from Canton,
spoke, giving some sweet personal thoughts concerning our brother and how
he and John became even closer then brothers as he became "Pastor Dave"
the last two years. Just a few days before John's death, he had written his
"Pastor" and thanked him for the things he did that no one else sees! David
took the note out of his pocket and read it with the date, Aug. 31. He died
Sept. 9th.
Again, thank you all for your prayers and support during this difficult time
in our lives.
I may not be on the forum for a few more days as just tonight we learned
that a dear family friend from Hot Springs, Ark. passed away earlier today.
We plan to attend his services over the weekend.
God bless everyone of you, in Jesus Name!
