Sister Betty,(Cookie) I was very saddened today to find out about Brother Bryant. I enjoyed the years I had a chance to work with him at Daetwyler. I know he's dancing with Jesus now and bowing at his feet. I am very saddened for you and the family. But we both know he is rejoicing in heaven. Had I of known John and myself would have surely been there for you. If you need anything let us know. Remember The Lord Jesus Christ will see all of you through and supply you with all your needs. I know you will trust in him for the guidance and comfort you need.
God Bless,

Sister Betty,
You know Blake and I were very close in past years while at 15th Street COG when we lived in Charlotte. He was a great brother and Man of God. That is how I will remember him.

Love to you and the rest of the family from Sharon, the boys and I.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a dear person. I'll always remember Deacon Blake's smile and his dance for the Lord. It is truly a blessing when no one can say anything negative about Deacon Blake. We could only see the light that God shined upon him. He met one of my brothers last month, and even my brother had positive things to say about him, after meeting him for only a brief time. My prayers are for you and your family.

Blake was a wonderful person . The last time I saw him we talked about the Lord and his love for his Church. Family know that you had a Father (Husband) that loved God. He was a good man before he accepted Christ ,so I know he had to be awesome afterwards. Surely he is with Our Lord right now. Rejoice Family, Rejoice. Be Blessed.

Sheena, Shanika & family. Many people will say that they know how you feel, but the truth is only the Lord really knows. Look to Him for comfort. He is just a prayer away.

You're not forgotten father, dear;
Nor ever shall you be;
As long as life and memory last;
I shall remember thee.
