Aunt Blanche will always be remembered by me as the calm voice.  We would always have family and friends around growing up; good music, food,  playing cards and dominoes everybody talking loud just about every weekend.   I just remember Aunt Blanche would come in and there was a calm, she would kiss and hug everyone ask how things were going sit eat and talk to grandma and her siblings and also talk to us kids.  She would also pray for upu and always invite you to come to her church.  Aunt Blanche you will be missed but we know you are in the hands of the Lord.  

Love you Tina

My deepest sympathy, condolences, love and prayers are extended to the entire family of Blanche Cook.  I first became acquainted with Blanche in  the mid-nineties. We were both middle school teachers in Long Beach Unified School District, as well as site facilitators of the Mosiac Program, sponsored  by California State University Long beach. The program was designed to encourage and  promote Black student to attend college. My relationship with Blanch evolved and  expanded as we became curriculum specialists and later administrators. We spent quality time together planning and preparing extensive guided learning experiences for teachers that developed into district wide professional development for the advancement of students.

Most importantly, Blanch and I were strong Christian women who prayed, shared and demonstrated God's Love in our daily lives. Time will not permit me to share of the times that she and I spent together. 

Blanche's positive qualities and spirit will live on through the lives of those of us who loved her. Each tear that is shed for Blanch holds immeasurable love. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalms 34:18 ( KJV)

May the peace of God rest rule and abide with you for ever.
