Dear Anne, Ruth and Peter, and your families,
We send you our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Mom and Grandmother, and of our friend, Blanche. We had not seen Blanche in latter years, but have vivid memories of the good times shared with her and Obed in earlier ones. She was a lovely lady, and a great tennis player and coach - a wonderful example of someone who built character and skill through sports. She leaves a fine legacy.

So sorry to hear about your loss, Anne, Ruth and Peter and many. Such a fine and caring lady. Recall how welcoming she and Obed were, many decades ago, after I moved from To. to Hamilton. Followed her many service years at Dundas Tennis; with wheel chair tennis+++

Blanche became a friend through Christian Women's Club. We attended Bible studies together. I will remember her for her kindness and humility. I visited her two summers ago and she was so gracious to see me and another friend. We all at Christian Women's know that she is now with her heavenly Father. God bless.
