I would like to take this opportunity to say a very sincere thank you to Blanche. She always showed me nothing but kindness and compassion. She let me share in her childrens, grandchildrens, and great grandsons lives. I know that she loved each and everyone of them very much and she has left them with a lot of wonderful memories that they will all hold in their hearts forever. Just know that if they need someone for what ever reason, I will be there for them and that includes their father who loves each and everyone of them very much.
