Aunt Blanche was one of the most generous people I have ever known and we will all miss her.
I can't help but remember Aunt Blanche, Uncle Wilson, Aunt Ruby, and Mama — talking and laughing like they always did whenever they got together and imagining that they're all having a good visit right now.
We're thinking of you and sending our love,
Tammie, Bryant, Eleanor and Ross

We still have the beautiful quilt she made my little girl 22 years ago. She was a kind lady. May she rest in peace.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Scarlett and Langden Mason
