You will always be remembered.

Aunt Blanche you always made me feel special and your smile made my day.
Summer were my fondest memories, I had two weeks before school started to help babysit Erica. Going to the pool, park and talks around the kitchen table was the best. Now the ice cream was the highlight of the visit. Who knew there were other flavors beside chocolate and vanilla.
Aunt Blanche I love you with all of my heart. I will keep you in my prayers. Love Lulu, Pete, Rene, Michael, Eric, Joseph and Aurora.
My grandma was the very best grandma you could ask for. I have tons of happy memories with my grandma. I can remember swinging on the swing in the gazebo and singling “Somewhere out there” and blowing bubbles. I can remember playing loteria and Gin Rummy for hours. On the weekends after we’d spend the night she’d take us to Peppermint Park. She used to make us cheese quesadillas that were the best (to this day)! We’d sit at her kitchen table and talk for hours upon hours while eating fruit and cracking pecans. She will be greatly missed. She was one of a kind and I’m truly blessed to have had her in my life for 35 years.
Blanche was always so loving to all our family. I will miss her smile. Love you Sister. Esther
Condolences to Marcello and family. I remember her being friends with my wife Christine. Now they can re unite again in heaven. May she rest in peace. May God comfort all the family members. From my family to yours Marcello. Peace be with you.
I will remember Blanche as kind, loving and beautiful. Her smile was perfect!
My condolences to cousin Marcelo and his family as well as the entire Zepeda and Rios families. I pray that God will give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
Aunt Blanche,
Thank you for the many wonderful childhood memories! Your kindness will always remain in my heart.
Señora Blanche. Usted ha dejado una huella de compasión y unidad en mi corazón. Con agradecimiento por esos momentos cuando me escuchaba con tanto amor. Mis oraciones por su regreso a la casa del Padre y por su familia tenga consuelo por su parida.
