I would like to write my condolence to the family of Alee Black a special lady. I want to encourage you to walk in love and forgiveness. Also, leave a legacy of love and encouragement as Altee did in her lifetime. She loved the motherless that I was, and she encouraged me with her wisdom. When going through pivotal times in my life. We grew closer from 2005 and on. When she suffered a stroke, I was there visiting her and John Black at the nursing home. In addition, God brought her through from that stroke, what a blessing to witness a miracle. Altee Black made a difference in my life, for now I will not say goodbye but, see you later.
Love your spiritual daughter Prophet Harlene Pruitt
