I miss you dearly Grandpa. Aaron and me can't wait to see you again. I'm so glad you and mom are able to sing together in Heaven's choir. I love you.
Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Bro. B was always a good man, lo Ed spending time at their house growing up, He will be missed and you are in my prayers!!!!!
I will miss eldon coming by and picking pears each summer, we always had a good time talking under the pear trees.
So sorry for your loss. We hurt so much when we lose a loved one. We have the promises in the Bible. The resurrection will reunite us with them, John 5:28-29. Soon Jehovah will also do away with death as shown at Revelation 21:3-4.
God bless and keep the family through these times of sadness and pain. May He give you peace in your time of need. Know that Brother Blaylock has gone home to a better place and is no longer in pain. You will see him again some day.
