Please accept my sympathy to the Blum Family.
Alberta was a good and dear friend – I will miss
keeping in touch with her each Christmas.
Not only was she an excellent legal secretary for
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, she also
managed the Stenographic Pool for the union which
later became the United Transportation Union. She was responsible for implementing the computer
system for transcribing dictation for all departments of the organization.
She was very proud of her family and spoke of
them often.
Sincerely, Judy Brazeal Klemencic
May Aunt Alberta enjoy the peace of Heaven and the joy of the risen Christ forever. Thanks to all of you who were faithful caretakers and visitors of Aunt Alberta over the past few years.
Rog, Sue, Noah, Andy, and Ryan Blum
