As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Please accept my sincere sympathy to the family of Blanche. Blanche was my next door neighbor and good friend for many years, and we kept in contact even after she moved. Blanche was an upright, honest lady, and if she had any problems, she never complained. I remember the beautiful quilts Blanche made and her fishing trips. She was an expert fisher woman, and she shared her catch with those less fortunate. I will always remember Blanche, and God willing, we will meet again in Heaven.

All of her friends at Green Court send their sympathy to the family.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to the Aunt Lela, Cousins Robblynn, Jawane and Jaysa & family. Granny Blanche will be missed, but not forgotten.

With Love,
