I miss you pop i love you
I am truly sorry for your loss. When we lose a loved one in death it can seem unbearable. Feelings of pain and helplessness can overcome us. But we can find hope and get comforted through the scriptures. Psalm 37:29 says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." And Jehovah God also promises us at Isaiah 25:8 that "death will be swallowed up forever." I hope this brings some comfort to your family.

Thank you Cindy!
Hi Joe,
Thank you for the message about my Dad. It really means alot to me. I will read it to my mom. My dad put up a good fight but after 2-3 years his body failed him. I am thankful he is not suffering any more. I appreciate your kind words. Take care!

Dear Blanchard Family,
A long time ago, 1952,Cookie and I played and went to school together at Clara Barton in Raritan Township. We would often visit each other's house on Saturday morning and do fun
kid stuff at the sand lot baseball games and in the summers go to the clay pits in Fords for swimming and maybe taken in a Gene Autry cowboy movie at the Fords movie house. I will always remember his smiling face and happy attitude. We stood together for our ninth grade
graduation picture because we were also the shortest in the class.
We drove the teachers to the brink of insanity. Of course with the help of other kids like,
Dudash, Ziggy, Ragazzi, and just too many to remember.
After only spending 3 years at Clara Barton we had to split up because I lived close to Highland Park and had to continue school there and he had to go to Perth Amboy for tenth grade. We never saw each other again. But I always remember my school days with Coookie.
Dear Marie, Gabrielle and Chris, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all and your families. Sincerely, Cindy
