    So sorry to hear of Blaine’s passing. I met him when he presided over my Dad’s funeral service in 2013 and we were prepared to ask him to do the same for our Mom, but I see they passed the same day. I appreciated his presence as he was a sincere, warm and supportive presence in our family’s time of need. My condolences for your family’s tremendous loss.

    Hello Colleen and all Blaine's Family, Wanted you to know how much I appreciated Blaine's loving ministry and just Blaine. I will always think of him with gratitude and affection. Also wanted to say how much I appreciated the Memorial Service you and your helpers arranged for him on Wednesday. It was very, very fitting. My prayer is that you will be surrounded by love as you begin your time of grief and will find your continuing relationship with each other and with Blaine a source of great comfort. Sheila McLeod.
