Nick, Sandy, Judy & Family
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your sister. Years back we had good times when our children attended pre-school.

I heard the name announced at Mass this morning and said to myself, "Can't be." I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the death notice.

My deepest sympathy to Nicholas, Sandi and Judy.

Blondie was a great person who was always upbeat.

So sorry for your loss.

I worked with Toni from 1982 until she left Sears. She was a fun person to work with and "the" expert at what she did. Toni taught me a lot when I joined her area. She made us great "Monkey Bread", but I mostly enjoyed her laughter. Toni was a good person and I'm sure touched many lives. My sympathies to her family.

Blondie got me hooked on Jay's Kettle Potato Chips when she worked with me in the office . She kept saying come on Mike have one. We also have the same kind of dogs. Blondie loved her dog. Any time I would call her at her office the first thing she would ask me was how was my baby. I hope someone is taking good care of her baby now. I was very sad to hear of her passing. She and I had a great time working together. I really enjoyed being with her. She will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.

Bondie was one the first people I met a little over 2 years ago as I walked my dog. I would look forward to seeing her resting on her porch. We would chat sometimes for over 45 minutes, which was always enjoyable; although, I would be late picking my girlfriend up from work. I know my walks will not be the same with her gone, I will miss her and will always be glad to have known her. My prayers will be with you and your loved ones.

Nick, Sandy, Judy and Family,
I was very saddened to hear about this. Although it has been many years since I have seen all of you, I have many great memories of your mom/sister.
I always remember those cool summer nights sitting on the front porch of the ol' Lowe Avenue building and counting on Blondie to have a funny story to tell.
All of you are in my thoughts.
