Memories and Condolences
for James Blanchard

Jimmy was my cousin. His mother and father my aunt and uncle. His Mom was my Godmother. When we were young we spent a lot of time with the family. Jimmy was the youngest and came to my oldest daughter's birthday parties. There wasn't much difference in their age. Jimmy was a sweet boy. My family moved to Georgia so I didn't see him anymore when he was older. The way everyone talked about him, he was still just as sweet!

It's hard enough to lose a loved one but when it's a Child or Grandchild I think it's harder. Visited my Grandson's grave yesterday. All the memories come flooding back. It's like you're losing them all over again. Hopefully we remember more good times than bad and it's gets a little easier with time. Jimmy is in a better place. That's what you have to hold on to. Keep him in your heart and he will always be with you.
