I was a volunteer at CMSS. I hung out with Blanche on Wednesday mornings every week for 8 months. Blanche never remembered who I was. Each week I had to reintroduce myself. But she treated me kindly and we would sit and chat like old friends. She told me stories about growing up on a farm and about becoming a nurse and about her sons beautiful violin music. She always encouraged my art and inspired me to raise myself to a higher standard. Iâ??m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to know her and hold her memory in my heart dearly.

Dear Joy, Steve and Marc, Please accept prayers and sympathy from myself and my husband Jerry at the loss of Blanche. Although we haven't seen each other in a long time, there are lots of memories of times together as kids. Living in a different state, I'm sorry we can't attend. Love, Sheryl.
