My deepest Sympathy sent to Alta’s family. She was a wonderful friend to my parents Darlene and Lee Blanchard and to me. We shared many Red Hat times together. Also we had many fond memories at dances at the Moose Lodge. Alta was such a fun and pleasant lady. Sending prayers for comfort in the days to come for her family.
