Davida,

When we were at Cragin, time couldn't pass fast enough. All these years later, it seems like yesterday.

I was so sorry to read in the paper of the passing of your brother. So untimely and tragic to lose such a young man.

I hope that time will at least lessen the exquisite pain of such a loss for you and your family.

I often think of you as I drive down Tucson Blvd, passing your childhood home across from the elementary school. Lots of memories.

Always best wishes!

My family had the pleasure to meet the wonderful Blankenship family in 1959. Over the years I saw the children grow into amazing adults. Remo will always be remembered for his love and devotion to his family. Nutie and Margo, my heart goes out to you as well as my deepest sympathy. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow and allow you to rejoice in Remo's wonderful life.

I knew Remo in high school. He was always a down-to-earth (and fun loving) fellow whose youth showed the promise of a good life in adulthood. May you find comfort and consolation in having been dear to him and in his having been dear to you.
