This is Blakely’s Memorial Service that took place on February 24, 2018. So many people made this service possible. We thank our family, our Church (Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church), our community and our friends for being with us through this journey. We thank you for giving your resources to make Blakely’s Memorial Service special. We are overwhelmed by everyone’s love and support. You have shown us the work of God’s hand – we have felt him work through each of you. You have shown us that there is love in the darkest of moments.

Blakely loved us all and we miss her!

Isaiah 43: 1-7

But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    I have called you by name, you are mine.
² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.
³ For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
⁴ Because you are precious in my eyes,
    and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
    peoples in exchange for your life.
⁵ Fear not, for I am with you;
    I will bring your offspring from the east,
    and from the west I will gather you.
⁶ I will say to the north, Give up,
    and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters from the end of the earth,
⁷ everyone who is called by my name,
    whom I created for my glory,
    whom I formed and made.”
