Here are excerpts from an obituary published in the local paper, the Greene County Herald: Mabel Eldora Blankinchip...went to be with the Lord on Saturday April 19, 2008, surrounded by her loving and devoted family. She was a very loving and caring person. She spent her life giving and serving others. Eldora was a simple and quiet person. She never put much value in the things of the world.
She is survived by her five children (names listed) and grand-children (names listed). We watched her walk through the gates and though the gates have closed after her, she is with us still.
She lives in our hearts. We cannot see her, but she is a living presence. She is more than a memory. Nothing can separate us. Not time. Not space. Not even death.
(Susil here, and I'm thinking about what it must be like to be loved that much, to be cherished that much. She was a lucky woman, and her children fortunate to have her.) Susil
I have one that I will post in the future
