When I was growing up, my grandfather Hershel Blankenship, always enjoyed seeing his sister. I enjoyed going to her house in Seaford as a kid with my grandparents. I didn't get to spend much time with her after she moved to Gloucester, but I will never forget the good memories. She was a great person and will be truely missed.
