Blanca Alvear Shipman

My sincere condolences to the Family I´m Eleanor Hall-White´s sister Blanca was a joy to be around the few times I saw her

Blanca praying in Lourdes at the Grotto. She was a woman of great faith and perseverance. She loved God, her family and life which showed in her bubbly personality. I´m so happy that I could be a part of her life. May the Perpetual Light shine upon her and may she Rest in Peace.

Gracie, Goni, Rolando and Blanca´s loved ones, my heart is sad for your loss of Blanca. Having lost a brother, I know your pain. My heart also rejoices knowing that she is resting in peace and in eternal life. Praying for you, yours and hers. May the strength, love and support that you´ve always had for each other as well as the prayers and good wishes of friends near and far accompany you. Eternal rest grant onto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

We are so very sorry for the loss of Blanca( Abue) . She was one of a kind! She is going to be missed by so many of her family and friends. I will never forget the first time we actually met her and Tom. We went to their house for supper and to get some getting to know each other time. Stacey and TC were dating at the time...she had enough food that night to feed 50 people! So now I know that is just what Blanca does...and boy did she cook some delicious food as everyone who knew her can...

Although we never met in person, a few phone calls, messages and cards were exchanged. She was definitely a beautiful person, outside and her inner spirit. We o ly knew each other because her son and my son-in-law served in the Marines together. I will miss her posts.
