My prayer goes out to Sister Blackwell and family. Reverend Blackwell was a Great man of God and he surly will be missed by all who knew him. Mathew 5: 4, Thoes who are sad now are happy, because God will comfort them. So look to God as he will comfort your hearts, as you prepare to say goodby to the strong one that has gone to be with the Lord. God bless you and keep you is my prayer.

While growing up and playing basketball behind Morning Star, we called him "Wilt the Stilt". He would playfully hold the ball above his head and laugh at all of us trying to jump and touch it. Rev. will truly be missed and our prayers are with each of you.
