"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain;for theformer things are passed away."
REVELATION 21:4
On Wednesday, July 20, 1994, God called one of his faithful servants to rest, Ms. Mottle F. Blaylock. She was bom to the late Dea. Matthew (Lottie Fletcher) Blaylock on August 31, 1918 in Edgefield County, South Carolina.

She acquired her formal education from the C.T. Walker Elementary School, Paine College, Augusta, Georgia and she received her Bachelor of Science Degree from Benedict College, Columbia, South Carolina.
She taught in the Allendale County School System. She retired from the Veterans Administration Hospital, Lenwood Division and was a member of the Union Rising Stars Society.

1 know you had to go home, but it's hard. 1 won't let the memories go. I'll try not to cry, but there is something that / don't understand. Mama, why leave, why go without letting me know, why didn't you let me tell you how much 1 loved you, so that you could here me. But I'll
try to understand and hold on.
Go on home Mama and take your rest. I loved you Mama, But only
God loves you best!
LOVE,
