Arthur Blakey

Dear Gwen,
I am just seeing this and am so very sorry for the loss of this good man who brought a smile to your heart like no other.
Heaven is shining a little brighter with his passing from life into the next.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
Much love and respect to you always, dear one.
Karen

My thoughts and prayers are with the Blakey-Holland Family during this bereavement. Arthur was a wonderful conversationalist and a good man. Be not dismayed whateer betide, God will take care of you.

Blakey and Holland families, So sorry to hear of Arthur's passing. I often think of you as I travel down Hickory Rd to the old MHS for a program with the today's middle school kiddies. (Great memories in that building of so many other young people.) May our dear LORD bless and comfort each of you at this time.
Love to all, Ann Pond
former Counselor, Matoaca High School

To Gwen and Arthur and family, you have my sincere heartfelt condolences. "Big" Arthur was always a joy to be around and remembering our combined families' trip to Disney World those oh so many years ago brings a smile to my face. Arthur was a true trooper. May he rest in eternal peace.

May the God's blessings of love, comfort and peace be upon you during this difficult time. Love, Neta Skinner, (daughter) Kathy Skinner Alston and Family

Sorry for your loss and may God be with the family .

Art was a dear friend for many years since I was a teenager. He was always an officer and a gentleman. His intelligence, kindness and genuine authenticity made him a "cut above." My dearest Gwen and the entire family, may it strengthen you to know that I and so many others are standing in the gap and are asking God to bless you with the peace and comfort that only He can give. Sorrowfully,
J. Teann Woodfin Robinson
