My deepest condolences to the Blanding family. When I was a young teenager, Chris was the one who got me started with a solid foundation for learning to play the guitar. I am still benefiting from the start that he gave me so many years ago. I am so thankful. May God continue to bless the Blanding family. Willie L. Lemon

To the Blanding Family, My family has known the Blandings since I was a child in Home Branch. Mr. Silas worked with my daddy at GP for years. Chris worked with my MIL at CMH. He also was only one of a few that she let come fishing! H8s BBQ sauce was so good. I know he will be profoundly missed. Chris was well thought of.
