I am so sorry to hear the passing of Mrs Bledsoe. When I lost my mother & grandmother, Matthews 25:21 gave me great comfort. "well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord." I pray this passage comforts all as it did with me. God be with you all during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies goes out to all of you! Some of my most memoriable times was when we all got together for a game of ball or ice cream after church. Your Mom and Dad were very special people and gave us really good times. We too lived behind you on Marion Street. Pete, Linda, Frances, Ann, Marlene, Sandra and Teresa, we send our love and God's Strength at such a difficult time.

I spent many happy moments in the Bledsoe house growing up. Marlene & Ann were two of my best friends but the whole family treated me like I was one of them, especially Mrs. Bledsoe. She was a very sweet lady and will be greatly missed. May you all take comfort in knowing she is in Heaven now free from pain and discomfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
