Blanche C. West

As I get older I start to wonder what heaven would be like. I am not a religious person so pearly gates and the review my sins are not part of the thought process. My vision of heaven would be a sunny summer day at a family reunion at Aunt Blanche and Uncle Westy's house in Palmyra. Uncle Westy would be on the porch making sure everyone was having a good time. Aunt Blanche would be in the kitchen preparing dinner with all the ladies. My Dad, Duane, Aunt D and Tommy Ross would all be their...

Grandma, I always looked forward to coming to NY and visiting with you on school vacations. We would try out different crafts and I remember when you taught me how to play poker with pennies! I will keep these memories and many more close to my heart.

I love you,
Stephanie

Grama West was and always will be in my heart and thoughts. She truly was the strongest, smartest person I know. She taught us all the meaning of family, hard work and acceptance. I didn't ever really matter how much you just screwed up, she was always there to accept and not judge. I'll nver forget such wonderful happy times together and how much she loved us all. She was a wonderful role model in how we should do things and how to live our lives. I'll miss you always. Your granddaughter,...

Gramma always had fudgsicles in the freezer and a doll for Xmas. We always had fun at her house catching minnows, playing pool, making cookies and sliding down the hill. Every single time we went to any store she would always buy us something, you just knew it! She was always there for all of us and never judged, just loved us all equally. Gramma you will always be with us in our hearts!
Love, Marsha

My Grandma was a very witty, loving and strong woman who loved each and every one of us unconditionally. She was a multi-tasker that could cook, clean, sew and make the best peanut butter balls ever - all 200 of them. She also put up with my grandfather's relentless teasing.

You could count on her for a humorous story and some good advise. Her quick thinking could solve many problems. She always had goodies and a hug to give. She is one of the strongest, smartest woman that I knew...

I liked to go visit you. You always gave me something. Then you took me to see the cat. You liked my pictures that I colored and gave to you.
I miss you very much!
I love you Grandma!
Love, Sonya

Grandma I wonder
where did you keep your wings?

Where they hung in your closet
with the rest of your things?

Do you put them away
and just use them at night

or give them to Debbie
to polish up bright.

I know you had wings,
for this must be true,

'cause God always gives
them to Angels just like you.

Always remember a Good Bye is not
FOREVER.

I love you Grandma.

I've lost my best friend,Mom.You will always be in my heart.When I need to know something I know you will be close by with the answer.Love your daughter Jackie

Blanche West was, by far, the greatest mother-in-law in the world! She
was always there to lend a helping hand with any project we might have
going and she was always willing to watch the kids if necessary or do any
of the numerous things she was called upon to do. She enjoyed the
grandchildren so much and could always be counted on for cookies, or to
help finish something they had started and got stuck on, or whatever.
We all miss her greatly and will always love her! I...
