I just want to let you know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I didn’t know Blake personally. But I feel like I do through the pictures on Facebook. Loved seeing him decked out as a Disney character and living life. He put smiles on those of us that only knew him through his family’s pictures. So much love. I know that this is a very difficult time. But he will always be a light in your lives. My heart goes out to the family and friends.
