Rev. Dr. Alfred Blakely

To the Blakely Family;
Rev Blakley and Shiloh have been apart of my life since I can remember, I grew up in the church. 265 Hamilton Ave, then 55 Park Ave, those memories will always be dear to me. My mother Harriet, made it her business to keep my self, sister and brother in the church,and in the arms of God.
Rev. Blakely will be missed by many, but never forgotten.
With my deepest sympathy,
Carolyn Merritt-James.

TO THE BLAKELY FAMILLY, MAY GOD KEEP YOU IN PERFECT PEACE IN THE TRANSITIONING OF REV BLAKLEY. I REMEMBER REV BLAKELY WHEN I WAS A CHILD GROWING UP IN PATERSON. HE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER AND AUNT PASTOR. SUCH A HERITAGE TO THE COMMUNITY OF PATERSON. I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER HIM. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THE BLAKELY FAMILY.

To The Blakely Family:

To the Blakely family. The First Lady and Sharon, I have fond memories of meeting the family at School Six many year ago. May God keep you in his care.

Words cannot express what Rev. Blakely means to me. He and Mrs. Blakely were considered a part of my family since before I was born. Rev. Blakely was like a grandfather to me. He was always a willing teacher and a caring person who told me that he expected great things from me. I would not know much of what I know today about Christianity and the soul if he had not been so close to us. His passing is so difficult for me because I never stopped calling him "my pastor." I take comfort in...

Rev. Blakely has been a part of my family since before I was born. He has touched so many lives. He will be sorely missed, but remembered with love and gratitude.

I have know Bishop Blakely all my life. He was the one that Baptized me very early in life and it is a great life sence. He has help lead me to the Lord along with my Mother Katherine Mix witch is with the Lord now also. May the Lord kept a watch over all of us. Bishop Blakely, you will always be in my heart. My prays go with the family.

May God Bless and be with you all at this time our love and prayers are with you sending our love from
Michelette Talmadge and children Ryshell Talmadge and Ryan Talmadge II
