I'm so sorry I wasn't able to come to Sylva to be with you guys. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many great memories of us when we were younger and have always thought the world of Blanche and Wayne. I'm always here, so if anyone wants to talk, just send an e-mail or call at 336-824-1358. I don't have the right words to say, so I'll just tell you again how much I've thought of all of you over the years. Love, Mindy

My condolences to you guys. Sorry I could not make the funeral.
Blanche was part of my extended family during my growing up. She helped guide me, and many others, when I lived in Addie and Sylva.
Her home was practically on the on the grounds of Scott's Creek Elementary. Kids were coming and going through her door, all during our 8 years of grade school. Blanche's influence extended to so many kids who came in touch with her. She also worked for years with my Mother Audrey at Scott's Creek Elementary. They were great friends.
She was a big influence on my spiritual life. Growing up at Buff Creek Baptist, Blanche was always there during church, Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Always up, bright-eyed, hopeful and encouraging. An excellent example of a Christian woman.
Blanche was also my band chaperone mom in 1972 at St. Pete, Florida, and helped Sylva Webster High School win the National Marching Band Championship. She kept us teenagers in line while making it a fun, memorable and positive experience.
I'll keep looking up Blance, until we see you again.
Optimistically,
Will/Bill Springer

I am so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of aunt Blanche. Even my children remember stopping to see her at the drug store on our way home to Murphy. My daughter said she remember getting cherry Sprite and chocolate cheese cake from her when we stop there.
My heart aches for all of you and it just brings back the loss of daddy and how good you all were to him when he was fighting his battle with cancer.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting Blanche and Wayne a little over a year ago and was able to participate in her healthcare. She was a kind and caring person who always had a smile on her face. She made me feel more like a friend in her home than an employee! The world has lost a truly caring soul. My condolences to Wayne, their children, and the dogs.

The best part of my job is getting to work with client's like Blanche. What a true joy she was. I loved visiting with her and Wayne and getting some story time in. I remember meeting her when I first came to Sylva. She always had such a sweet smile and just could ligten up my day by seeing her. She was a proud wife, mother and grandmother . Not one time did I visit with her that she was not bragging on her wonderful husband, children and grandchildren. I pray that those memories will comfort you through days ahead. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll always remember my happiest memories growing up and spending time with your family and our family in Murphy. What a great time we had! Janet, Jennifer, Pam, Bill, Seth and wife, I know what a blessing your mother was. I've thought of all of you often throughout the years, and what good times we all had together. Seems like it was only yesterday we were being fussed at for playing on the "red clay bank." Love you all so much, and you're all in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother was such a good person, and I am so, so sorry for her loss. Love, Mindy
