Grandma thanks for showing me that it is possible to ignore the little issues that life throws at you. You always seemed to brush off things that did not really mean much and continue toward the path that brought you joy. I wish I was more like you in that regard. Thank you for loving all of us grandchildren, and making each one of your grand children feel special and so loved. I have missed you, and I will always miss your smile and sense of humor. I will never forget all of the great times we have had; like camping trips, crazy xmas cookie decorating with you and my cousins, and simple card games with just the two of us when you always let me win (unless we were playing for change--LOL). You and grandpa, truly helped make my youth a very happy one, and I will always remember you and pass on my memories about you both to my three sons. Thank you for everything. You could not have imagined how much you have meant to us all.

To Mrs Blackford's family we send our condolences and trust your good memories will bring you comfort. As newlyweds in 1965,we were the first real estate transaction that Marion Blackford processed in her real estate career. She is and was held in high regard as part of our story.(We still live in the home she helped us buy.)

I am very sorry for your loss! Marion was a wonderful person. She always treated people well. And oh, how she loved animals. She was their caretaker! I admired her for this as well. She will be missed, but our good memories of her will live on!
