I was so saddened to hear about Blake. He and my brother were good friends through high school, Danny Fralin. He also passed away this past year. My sister had told me that Blake had called the house after hearing about Danny a few months later. I always thought a lot of Blake. I also rode the school bus with him. My heart definitely goes out to his family. With the losses that my family has endured this past year, I know how hard a sudden loss is.

I am sorry for your loss. My brother and I went to school with blake. We use to ride the same bus together John, Jeff, and I(Darlene) Mitchell. He was alway nice and had a beautiful smile. I am so sad I just find out his pasting, Monday December 20th. If I had known, I would have been there for the family. I did not know that he went to Woodlawn Baptist church. That is the Street that I live on. Please now that our prayers are with you. I thank god for blessing us to have met Blake. He is in a better place with the lord. He will watch over him. We love you Blake.

Rita,
I know you will miss your son dearly. As my daddy said "you lived and breathed for him." I feel lucky to call Blake my first cousin :) What makes me sad in my heart is that we didn't see eachother more. Of course you always think of that in a time like this. The last time i saw Blake he gave me a hug and that warm smile and just wanted to know how i was. I'm here if you need anything & know that Blake is in Heaven with loved ones who have gone before & know we will all be there with him one day. *RIP Blake*

Rita, I don't know if you even remember me, but I was a friend of Bills when Blake was about 2. He was the cutest little boy. I was sorry to hear about him. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you today and your family. God Bless

Blake you will be sadly missed by a long time friend and childhood friend although your life was tough you always was the same every time I saw you or whenever we got the chance to hang out and talk about our childhood and what life had become. Blake had alot of friends and he dearly loved his mother as she did him.As he told me the last time I talked to him I love you man, keep a watch out for us down here I guess you and John are sitting around laughing and having fun I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY.
