So sorry for your loss.
Blanche was my mother's best friend. Even though Blanche was mom's aunt, they were only a few months apart in age. I wish that I had been able to spend more time with aunt Blanche. The few times that I was with her, she always seemed to be very gracious and pleasant to be around. I know from our conversations that she loved the Lord and that she was saved and is now resting in heaven and back united with my mother.
We would like to convey our sincere condolences to the Perry family. Our prayers and thoughts are with each and every one of you.
May you experience peace and healing thru fond memories left behind. My condolences to all family and friends that will miss her.
