I
am very sad to hear of Blanche passing, but I am happy for her
sake that she is no longer struggling with illness and is in
a better place. My deepest condolances to all of her family
as I know you will miss her so much! The loving relationship
that Blanche had with my father, Einar, was certainly a highlight
in his life and I will always be grateful to her and so many
in the family who extended love and care to him. She will always
hold a special place in my heart. May the Lord comfort you all.

Dear
Blanche, I will miss you, and thanks for putting up with all
of us. Thank you for putting up with me when I blew up Maxie's
shorts on the clothes line, thank you for letting us party until
you shut the lights off in the basement and thank you for all
the kind welcomes and goings. God Bless.

To
Blanche's Family, Bill and I have had the pleasure of knowing
Blanche since 1967 and she took great care of us when we went
for clothes for our daughters, Nancy and Kathy. We became
friends and enjoyed seeing her almost weekly, even if we didn't
need something, we stopped into her shop just to say HI. She
was so pleasant and friendly. We all had a good laugh when
Max {who was in highschool at the time},came into the shop
dressed in an outfit he had bought at St Vincent. Blanch was
mortified but we laughed ourselves silly. She was a great
woman and although we didn't see much of each other these
last few years, when we did meet it was as if our last meeting
was only yesterday.
We
shall all miss her passing and our deepest sympathy to all
her family. We shall not forget her she was "One fine woman!"
Most sincerely, .

I will always remember my brother Bill talking about visiting Blanche when in Marquette and the humor and joy she brought to him. She was a real friend to Bill and I know she will be missed. God Bless and my best wishes to the Christensen family.

Blanche
was a very good friend of my dad's (Dave Vadnais) and at times
almost like "his mom." I know she meant a lot to him and he
was very glad to know her and have her a part of his life. I'll
never forget having our annual Vadnais Sled Dog party on Lake
Street and Blanche came walking down. Some of our more fragile
friends stayed in the warm house. Not Blanche! She sat by the
fire and visited with all of us and drank her one beer. And
I remember thinking I hope I get to live such a full life like
this wonderful woman. She was so nice and enjoyable to have
around. My heart goes out to The Christensen Family during this
time. Her presence will be missed, but she will live on through
the fond memories we all have. I feel so blessed that I was
able to know her.

Dad,Mom,Patty,Julie,Max
and Cathy, I am so lucky to have married into this family and
to have gotten to have Blanche as my grandma. From the first
day of meeting her she treated me like I had been in the family
forever. We will miss calling her and her always telling Michael
to "make sure you take care of my girls and give them a hug".
We know that she is looking down on us today and what a much
better place this will be to know that we have such a special
angel looking over us. We love you and miss you chum!
Dad and Mom Know that I love you!

Dearest
Patty, Max, Denny, Kathy, & Julie,
No words can express
my sadness with the passing of your beloved Mom and my dear,
close friend. I consider myself so lucky to have been by her
side the day before her passing, and to have her recognize
my presence. In addition to being a friend, she was also a
confidant who's tellings only she and I will ever realize.
My deepest sympathies to all of you. I will miss you much
Ma, and will think of you often. Save a stool for me. Love,
Billy (the "Little Counterfeit").

May
Blanche always reside with God and spend eternity looking at
the waters of Lake Superior. She will always be remembered by
my family as a loving a giving person with a wonderful sense
of humor and a kind word for all. I will always cherish my visits
with her on my vacations to Marquette and remember she and I
sipping a beer together on her front porch. May she be at peace.

Dear
Julie, Cathy, Dennis, Max and Patti, We are so very saddened
to hear of 'ma's' passing. Such a dear, sweet woman who's heart
was larger than anyone we've met. She always made us feel welcome
when we stopped by on South Lake Street. We'll always remember
when we 'partied' in the basement. Instead of coming downstairs
to tell us to leave, she would use her psychology and turn off
the electricity or furnace! We'd freeze and stumble our way
to the outer doorway! South Lake Street will NEVER be the same
with Blanche gone. We wish we could be there to help comfort
you, but please know our prayers are with all of you during
this time.

It
is said that when you meet someone special, you'll never forget
them and be touched by them. This and more than words can't
express or descibe Mrs. Christiansen by me.I was first introduced
to her by Max when I visted their home on Lake Street.
As soon as you walk in the door the wamth of the family grows
upon you and in my case its like being home at Grandmothers
when sitting with Mrs. Christiansen. To Max and family I've
yet to meet, please know that I'm only a phone call away for
anything you might need or even just to chat. With Love and
Sympathy,
