I didn't know Blanche a long time, as I was only her student nurse, but every day I saw her she put a smile on my face. May she forever be happy and continue to look upon her family. My prayers go out to you. She was a very special lady.

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Conley's passing! Linda, I remember when your Mom cooked an entire pound of bacon for me...and I ate the whole thing! What a sweet lady she was...and I know she was so proud of the wonderful Christian lady you are as well. Hugs to you and your family! I'm sure your Dad and my Dad are having wonderful conversations with her in heaven right now :) Jill (Sandy) Coston

Linda, so sorry to read of your mom's passing. When she would come over and we would get the cherries and apples off our trees, she always made a pie for us. She will ALWAYS be my Mrs. C! I am sorry I will not be able to attend the services, but I will be thinking of you during your time of sorry.
