Hey.. It's me, I know i'm late but i honestly never thought i would be signing this thing, but things have changed. I've read others words in this guestbook telling you all sorry about what happened.. And well, in all honesty you know basically how sorry i am. I really have not a clue how to show it. But that's not the real reason i'm signing this thing. I'm signing this for blake.. and to thank many.. Anyways, Blake, i don't know if you can read this. I'm no kind of philosopher, but i wanna let you know you and ian are the only people i've ever told.. You're my best friends... I remember us talking about stuff after college and starting a business, i even remember me and you planning to send a girl to Ians' doorstep to take him on a suprise date when we got back from our little vacation. lol we laughed.. talked about lots of things, even argued, but not in a mean way, it was always fun.. We worked together, 2 the point that we basically quit together. We went outta town together, played games, and did NOTHING on friday nights together because i was always 2 lazy to find the parties for you (sorry brotha), i think we went to the movies so many times that it became a third home, besides mine and yours. Need i go on? My fingers would get tired trying to type it all.. and i have strong fingers (video games! *wink*) But anyways Dolares n Bo, thank you for bein there for me when i really need it, i may not be your biological son, nor look like one, but you treat me like one and it makes me feel more at home =). Memaw, i got your card, and i liked it alot! It was real nice i hope to see you soon :-). Judy, hey! you pretty much got the thank you from me but it never hurts to say it again. thank you very much! Sorry you caught me when i was in one of those flashback moods when i woke up.. Your food was really good though! =) I just can't talk or look up 2 much when i'm about to cry ya know? but thanks for lettin me stay over it was real nice.. I'm waitin for your trip to Texas! lol I love yall and well thank you to everyone else that's been there for me.. I miss you all.. And even though I'd love to make this longer because i have alot more to say i have to go. So maybe i'll continue all of this later on. TAKE CARE!

Dear Bo and Delores,

My name is Ricky Long and I am the manager at Natchez Electric where Mr. Robert works. I am deeply sorry for the events that have happened to your son and family before Christmas. I too have lost a Dad and the only two brothers I had to three different accidents. God helped me through these tragedys and he will see you through them also. I only know you through what Mr. Robert has told me and I feel as though I have known your family all my life. If I could help take some of the pain I would but all I can do is pray for you and my wife and I will certainly be doing that. We love Mr. Robert and will do anything in this world for him or you if possible.

Delores and family,

I am praying for you and your family. We sometimes do not understand why God chooses to do somethings, but in the Bible God promises us that: He will not gives us more than we can bear, and all things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose. Know that I will be praying for you.

Love,

Dear Dolores and family:

We think of you daily and pray for your pain to lessen each day.

When we lost Allies mother Lisa,the pastor told those of us who knew and loved her,to cherish the precious time that we spent with her,wheather it was a year,ten years or all her life as in your case with your precious Blake.

Sent with a prayer.

I'm so sorry. I just found out today at school, I'd been out of town and this comes as a big shock. My heart goes out to the entire family, Blake was an amazing person. I used to work with him and go to school with him and I always found him to be a really amazing guy. I am so, so sorry and I'll keep y'all in my prayers.

There is a time & season for tears. When your heart is full of anguish, they begin to flow as naturally as raindrops from heaven. There is a hidden beauty in tears, a welcome cleansing about them. They should be shed boldly in public or solitude. They symbolize how much you have loved and lost... Tears commemorate and celebrate your loved ones. There is a holiness about your tears, every one of them is a prayer that only God can understand... He created them and shed them Himself. They are a reminder to you that your soul can have no rainbows if your eyes can have no tears...

Prather family and friends: May God ease your anguish and dry your tears...

Praying for you,

Karly

The death in your family has deeply touched me, Blake was in my third piriod class along with another friend of ours and we had some awsome memories in that class room but the thing that I will miss most from Blake is the loyalty to his friends, Blake was an amazing person and I will never forget him. My church and my own thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Delores, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The Lord works as a mystery and we never understand why he does the things he does. But you have to have faith in Him and know your son is in a better place as an angel who was needed. Many hugs, and know we are all here for you if you need us. Praying for you and your loved ones. Love ya, ~Evie~
