Condolences
Sympathy
Sorry to hear of "Blanchie's" passing. I hadn't realized she had been seriously ill. She made potato salad better than anyone I know and I would remind her from time to time. I'm sure
"Blanchie" (as most of us called her) will be missed. And, will truly be remembered by her family and many friends. Keep the faith; and remember the good memories of your Mother, sister and grandmother--she was special.
Warm regards, thoughts and prayers
