I love you so much Grandma. I will dearly miss you.
I am so sad to hear of Blanche’s passing. Blanche was my grandparents’ neighbor on Johned Road for the longest time before moving. She was always sweet with me when I was younger, my grandparents & Blanche were great friends for many years. My prayers go to her family during this time.
Blanche was an asset to me and my company for many years. A wonderful friend and her love for her family was unsurpassed,, she will be missed by many
Blanche was my dearest closest friend I met her when my son Ernie was in first grade at Thomas Jefferson School in Northvale!!! We were involved with the PTA fund raising and we would see each other almost every day and had so much fun and laughs !! We were like Lucy and Ethel ! She was an absolute joy to be around!!! I am so blessed to have had Blanche in my life!!! She was kind sweet and funny!!! I have so many fond memories of her! May she rest in peace and I know God is going to have a blast with my dearest friend!!! I love ❤️ you all !!!
