Our condolences to Tal, Ted, Todd and Candy and their families.
We knew Blanche for most of our lives so far -- a wonderful woman who always had a warm smile and friendly words of greeting for all she met. She and her music will be greatly missed.

Kuhnz Family, Sorry to hear of the passing of Blanche. My parents welcomed her and your father to the neighborhood way back when. My brothers and I new them all our lives and played with you 'kids'. Always had a great time.

Blanche was a second mom to me. There are so many stories I could tell but one most vivid is the many trips to Taylor Park to swim and then to Dairy Queen after that for a dilly bar. She was my mom's best friend and I'm sure the two of them are re-united and again making homemade noodles for chicken soup as they often did together. I will surely miss coming to see her next time I get to Fondy. She was such a wonderful wife, mother, friend and an all around great lady of faith.
