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.
