"A company even in Texas offered to donate the gravestone," said Blake's mother, Linda McGinness. Not surprising.

I can’t read my screen at the moment. Thank you for this post. What a beautiful boy.

God bless that child; for such love only a child could have.
His family is blessed and so is he! His dad would be so proud!

Thanks onyx. What a great son, what a tribute.
His gravesite is currently marked only by some of Blake's toys, as the family couldn't afford a gravestone... With the costs of the gravestone covered, Blake told the Kingston Whig Standard he plans to donate proceeds from the yard sale to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.
