Helen Joyce Seiders Blaschke was my grandmother and to comment on the wonderful memories I have of her would be impossible. It makes me feel so good inside that everyone could see how wonderful of a person she was. I will miss her dearly in the years to come and a part of her will always remain in my heart!

I miss you Granny!

Dear Andy and Family,
We were so sad to hear the news. Our prayers are with you and your family. I had sent Tootsie some old pictures after Gene's death and she had written me back -- thanking me and told me about her cancer. We always had a good time at the Pecan Springs Reunion.
God Bless,
Jackie (Crowe) Finch and my aunt, Arleene Seiders

Mr. Blaschke, Charlotte, and Laura: It saddens me that I took for granted that I would have time to visit. I've been back home for a year and a half, always thinking I need to go visit, but always thinking I would have another day. I will always regret that I did not take the time to visit. Mrs. Blaschke will be remembered, loved and missed by so many. For each life that she touched, she made that person feel special, I am only one of many. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll during this time and always. Sincerely, Becky

I met Helen at the Senior Center in Bastrop. I enjoyed talking with her whenever possible. She was a very sweet and likable lady. She will be missed very much. Her family are in my prayers. May God be with them during their time of sorrow.
