Al, I think about you every day, miss you my man. I still laugh about those fun times we had - and feel sadness that you're gone. I'll come see you in a few years and we can laugh all over again. Rest in Peace my friend.

Hello everyone,
I receive a yearly email memorial of Albert´s passing, which gives me an opportunity to reflect on his life and my relationship being a former brother in law. He was a dear brother, I love n miss him dearly. Lots of good memories.
Albert´s in heaven with other loved ones. We all eventually see one another again after this life on earth is over. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price, who had died for our sins, and rose again the third day. Our part is believing that God sent His only son (Jesus) and whosoever believes on Jesus, will be saved to enjoy all eternity in heaven, praise God.
Brother Albert, we´ll see you again.

To Albert Blankenships' Family, Friends, And Collegues/Co-workers: My deepest, most heartfelt condolences. Albert and I grew up with one another. I met Albert when he attend Utterback Jr. High and played clarinet in the Jr. High School band. We both went onto Pueblo High School, and both graduated in 1982. So incredibly blessed we all were to have known Albert. Albert was this extremely beautiful soul who's infectious smile, quick wit, and unrelenting sense of humor made him a man that anyone would be proud to call..Friend. I just saw you a day or two before you left us. And that makes it so very hard to grasp onto the fact that you've gone ahead without us.. But I have to place trust in our lord and know.. That on one very special day, We will all be together again.. And on that day... We will all celebrate just knowing that Love and Friendship never truly pass away...It's the one thing we all take with us. From the Birthday/Dance parties at your cousin's house, to marching band, graduation, Your military service,and millions of other memories..Oh! And we can't forget the great big bear hugs you gave out to friends in times of great saddness and joy.. Thank You Albert.. Little did you know... You gave so, so very much.
Much Love My Dearest Friend..Miss you Something Terrible...
