Dear Prophet Blackman you and your family are in our prayers. It was a wonderful blessing meeting your wife in Albion. I thank God for hearing all the wonderful miracles that God favored you and Kelly they blessed our soul to hear and encouraged our heart. The two of you are a beautiful example of two becoming one. Doran and I send our love and prayers to you and will continue to call your name out before our Lord and Savior.

My sweet niece, Kelly. I remember the day you were born. We were all so happy. And the summers you came and stayed at my house. I can still visualize you swimming in the back yard pool as a young girl. You grew to be such a light in this world to everyone around and now you are shining bright in heaven. I will always love you and you will be missed every day.
Love,
Aunt Lainy
