My Condolences to Blenam family. I remember your mom from Know Church, she was a great lady, loving and caring.

Mrs Blenman - I could never call her Colleen - was like one of a group of Guardian Angels to me as I became involved in Knox. She was a strong and stalwart supporter for Mr. Butler and the youth programs, always working away behind the scene, in the background, but also keeping a "motherly eye" on my progress and development into adulthood. She was a staple in my life at Knox and I will miss her sorely. And I thank her.

What a gracious lady your mother was. Calm, steady and kind. Little children went to her so trustingly. May God comfort you. She enjoys the comfort and peace of Jesus now, and there is no lack or sorrow there. In Him, Norine Love
