John, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Lanelle. She was always so sweet, loving and kind to me. I loved her dearly!

John: This is your first cousin Gerry sending deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear Mom. I have many fond memories of her and Uncle Freneau in years gone by. Your Mom had a special laugh which I loved to hear. We had some good times, especially the family reunions at Aunt Sis’ home in Fairview at the old home place (now a Food Lion) and the Blankenship family retreat in Barnardsville when the land was divided up after Nanny passed. Special memories. Wish I could have seen your Mom in recent years. That leaves a void. I have not seen you in years. It would be nice to see you. Drop me a reply when you can and we will meet, if convenient for you, at your direction. The years are flying. I can still remember seeing you and Mark playing at the bridge in Lake Lure when you were small and I was handling claims in that area for Nationwide Insurance in the 70s and would drive across the bridge and see the two of you playing there. With deepest sympathy, Gerry. gerryh1947@yahoo.com
