    To my cousins Tom, Pat, Sue, Judy and Barbara, I offer you my sincerest condolences on your mother’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Some of my happiest memories of childhood involved visits to your home for picnics and such. Your mom was so good to me and I never forgot it.

    Dear Pat & family,

    Mike happened to see this at work today. We want to send our heartfelt sympathy to you & your whole family. I have the fondest memories of your mom and the whole Blancarte bunch. What a great picture of her! Hope all is well with the rest of the family—-it is a sin we haven’t kept more in touch—but want you to know I think of you often.
