To the Family of Paul Blanks you gave a beautiful memorial program! You looked elegant and Paul would have been very proud.

Fred and family - I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Warmest regards,

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body." (Philippians 3:20-21 NKJV)

Mr. Blanks will be missed by many. He was a delight and a beautiful spirit that loved to help anyone who needed it. We are very saddened to hear of his passing. May God Bless and comfort the family and friends of this very dear man.

Dear bereaved family and friends,
In times like these, words seem so inadequate. Please know you are being lifted up in prayer during this very difficult time by a host of God's people who love you very much.
