Dear Uncle Joe, Marie, Michael and all the family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. I have many wonderful memories of our visits to your home as we were growing up. I can still hear Aunt Bobbie's delightful laugh.

I never had the honor of meeting Mrs. Blount, but I did have the privilege of working with her son, Michael, in the Virginia Beach Fire Department. Michael, Peggy and Nicole were members of the Fire Department's extended family and their loss is our loss.
Mrs. Blount's family will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers.
