Mrs. Blanton always worked so hard with me and had a great spirit, even in hard times. I enjoyed getting to know her over the past three years and will really miss her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I will miss seeing Mrs. Blanton's smiling face when I come to visit my mother, Eleanor Woolridge, her roommate.
Mrs. Blanton and I had many pleasant conversations.
