Guest Book
From: Colleen Barnard
I first met Blondie many years ago when she worked with my aunt Ruby at the Glentana store and post office. I looked forward to seeing both Blondie and Jim out and about on their walks after they moved to Malta and enjoyed visiting with them as they were both so spunky and knowledgeable on quite an array of subjects.
Now I will think about what a glorious reunion they must have had and will picture in my mind both of them so happy together, once again walking around heaven. 🕊
