Gone To Soon We Will Never Forget The Rainy Day That God Decided To Take You Away
It Had To Be The Saddest Day Of Our Lives Because We Never Said Our Last Goodbyes
Day By Day We Smile And Reminisce About The Good Times And Laughs And Laughs
We Will Miss Often Times We Wonder If You're Okay But We Just Pray That God
Show Us The Way It's Sad To Know You Are Not Here Close To Our Hearts, We Hold
You Dear We Want You To Know You Were Truly Loved We Can Feel Your Presence
As We Look Above You Earned Your Wings On A Special Day So Go Home My Angel,
Fly Away Sometimes We May Question Why But You Have Gone To A Place Of Eternal
Life Be Patient, For We Will Reunite When The Time Is Due You Are Truly An Angel
Gone Too Soon Love Always; Family And Friends

*There are at least a dozen or more, markers, that have NO data on them and or they are broken & illegible. The barrier you see across the backside is similiar to what is used along road/highway construction. It is in the area where many of the Blake family graves stand in water. On the other side is just a big open field/lot that appears to be some sort of community ball field or some other recreation field. I did not approach the barrier to get a better view of what was on the other side. The sign, visible below between two trees, faces the street/ road that runs along the one side of it and the field adjoining it. (April 2014)
