I’ll Lend For You


“I’ll lend you, for a little while, a child of mine,”He said


“For you to love while he lives and mourn when he is dead.


It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, but will you
till I call him back, take care of him for me?


He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and shall his stay be brief,
you’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.


I cannot promise he will stay, as all from earth return but there are lessons taught down there that I want this child to learn.


I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crown life’s lanes, I have selected YOU.


Now will you give him all your love not think the labor vain nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again.”


I fancied that I heard them say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done.


For all the joys thy child will bring The risk of grief we’ll run.


We will shelter him with tenderness, We’ll love him while we may—


And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.


But should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes...
........And try to understand.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family right now. My son attended River Gate with Blake. I know this is a difficult time but know that he is always with you, every moment of everyday...

I've left a door open in my dreams...
In case you come by today....
I've left a light on in my heart...
To help you find your way.
It's been so long since I've seen your face...
An eternity it seems...
So if you can come see me tonight...
There's a door open in my dreams.

Steve Marcaurele

Just wanted to let you know I think about your family everyday.  I can not imagine how difficult this is.  I just want you to know you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Have peace in your heart knowing that the Lord will carry you the rest of the way or until you can once again leave your own footprints in the sand. I am so sad and can only reach out to you with prayers, may your future days be a celebration of his life. Be faithful and know you have an angel watching over you now. Jennifer (Fort Mill,S.C.)

I am so sorry for your loss you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you. My thoughts and prayers have been with you all during this tragic time.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.  My daughter, Alexis, was in Ms. Thompson’s class with Blake.  Every day we would hear a story about Blake and she would blush telling us the story.   My husband had the pleasure of helping Ms. Thompson out and getting to know Blake.  He would always comment on what a free spirit he was just like our Alexis. He would always say “Hello, Mr. Wyatt”, when my husband volunteered, this would make my husband smile every time.  Blake will be missed but will live on in our memories forever.  
Our deepest sympathy,
Rob, Becky, Jasmine and Alexis Wyatt

There are no words that can ease your pain at this time.  Know that others care and will continue to keep the Goshen family in prayer.

May the strength of the lord guide you and keep you during your time of need. I am extremely sorry for your loss.

Dixie and Phil,

We cannot express, in words, the heartache and sadness that we feel for your loss. As I thought of you throughout the day and prayed that God would touch you with his love and grace, these verses came to mind.

God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

Please know that our prayers are with you.

Words cannot express enough our sadness for your family.

May the grace of God uphold you in the moments, hours and days ahead.  We cannot imagine the hurt in your hearts as you bear Blake's passing.  Please know that our prayers are with and for you and your family -- the Lee family in Richmond, VA (Bob from Theta Sigma, 1989).

I am deeply sorry for your loss.  Words can't express what you must be going through.  I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  If you need anything please let me know.

"Dixie, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers."

Dixie, We are in constant prayer for you and your family. Our hearts are breaking for you and we just can't imagine the pain that you are going through right now. We will continue to pray that God will hold your family together and provide some sense of peace. If we can help in any way, please let us know. With love, Cheryl Young & family

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

"Dixie, Judy and I are thinking of you and praying for you and your family.  May God embrace you during this difficult time."

Dear Dixie and family,

I heard about this tragedy on the news over the weekend. I remember thinking that I couldn't imagine the pain of losing either of my two boys, ages 10 and 11. 

I just learned that Tanner is the nephew of my co-worker Terry Holden. 

I am deeply sorry for your loss and pray that in His time, God will bless your family with peace. Rely on His strength, remain faithful and praise Him for the many blessings that Blake brought to your daily lives. 

Your family is in our prayers.

May the love of God surround your family during this trying time.
