I want to extend my Sympathy to all of Blanche's family. So sorry to read the obit in the DM paper. I would have come to the funeral, but I am helping with a luncheon in Winterset for the funeral of Florence Thomas on Monday.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I always liked your Mother so well.
