Was not able to attend but please know that my prayers are with Darlene and the rest of my Blanchard family.
Reginald is so admired and missed but let us all purpose in thought on the good memories he left with each of us. Reginald was an example of humility,intelligence and a sound Christian attitude.
So we cry today but tomorrow we move on in emulation of the courage and faith we saw in my cousin Reginald Blanchard.

My sincere condolences to the Blanchard family for the loss of their loved one, may God strengthen you all during this difficult time and may you find comfort through his son Jesus Christ's words found in John 6:40.
