My thoughts go back many years as a neighbor of Pete, Francis and Jimmy Pete. I was a few years older than Jimmy but frequented their home across the street many times - in the Boy Scouts with Jimmy Francis was the sweetest and most welcoming person in the neighborhood. Always supportive of Jimmy and his friends. I have some photos of Jimmy when he was little that I would like to send to his daughters ... my phone # 304-952-5005 Richard Bingham

I was very saddened to hear of Aunt Frances passing. I remember her and Uncle Pete coming to our house in Gary, WV when I was a little girl. Mom and Dad (John and Asalee Blasher) always enjoyed their company. I can remember her being so beautiful (not a hair out of place) and her beautiful soft spoken voice when she talked with me. She will definitely brighten the streets of heaven.

Dear Joyce and family members of Frances Blasher I'm so sorry for your loss. I met Mrs. Blasher at our 50th Gary High School Reunion. She was a lovely lady. I'm so glad that Joyce and her sister got to spend some time with her before she died.
