Falla's Gma, First to Obey Apostolic Message

[Falla39]

Falla's Grandmother, Nancy Elizabeth (Lizzie) Blakey (1897-1984)

This is my paternal grandmother Blakey, the first of our family to obey the Apostolic message of Acts 2. God healed her of typhoid fever in 1926, at age 28. The mother of 3 young children, a devout Methodist at the time, she humbly asked God if he would see fit to let her raise her 3 children. God answered that prayer and allowed Lizzie Blakey to see Falla's first grandson, the beginning of her 5th generation. God called her home in 1984, just 20 days before her 87th birthday. After God raised her up from death, she trusted Him all the days of her life. He never let her down, nor her family.





Five Generations: Lizzie Blakey, Her son, Robert L.Blakey, His daughter, Nancy (Falla39), Her daughter, Glenna, holding her son, Philip Andrew Brua, two weeks old. This picture was taken Aug. 1983. Lizzie and Robert have passed on, but the three remaining generations continue on at the church Robert and his wife, Audrey Blakey founded Nov. 1958. Almost 50 years ago.
