Dear Uncle Ed and family,
I just heard the sad news about Aunt Blanche. She was always so sweet and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. I know that she will be greatly missed, and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. She has gone to her reward in heaven now somewhere she strived for all her life. May God take care of her family. Fondly, Atchy
