I've known Blanche and Henry for many years and they are like family. I was shocked and saddened to see that Blanche had passed away. I will always treasure the memories of hanging out on her mini-farm. She had a passion for animals and stayed up many nights nursing them back to health. Her kindness was admirable and she saved many, many lives. Blanche was one-of-a-kind. Although there were many chores and mouths to feed, Blanche always looked her best. Her hair perfectly coiffed, her makeup always perfect. Blanche was a beautiful person, inside and out. She will be missed greatly. Whenever Blanche adopted another critter, I always used to say she would have a place in heaven....now I am comforted by knowing that she does. I imagine Blanche surrounded by her many pets she has saved over the years. Hopefully, there won't be too many "clusters" in Heaven. I love you, Blanche and I will always miss you. While you were here, you've touched many lives, and made our world a better place. God Speed.
