My deepest condolences to the entire family, on the loss of a very special lady. I have many fond memories from childhood and beyond, sharing times at your home, and your parents always made anyone feel very welcome. You are in my prayers, and I love you all.

Mrs. Vera Leblanc was a very special lady and nurse! She taught me for 2 years in high school (1976-78) in her HOCT class. I learned so much from her about health care and nursing skills. I became a certified nurses’ aide under her instruction, then later went on to be a Registered Nurse (1981-present).. I have fond memories of her taking our large class to local, regional and state competitions,!! Texas State #1, 1978!! She was also very understanding and comforting to me when I lost my mother in 1977, when I was just 16. She truly stepped up for me, and was a source of great inspiration. My heartfelt condolences to her family at this time of great loss.

My sincere condolences to Mrs. LeBlanc's family at this time of great loss. Mrs. LeBlanc taught me for two years in high school (1978-1980) in her HOCT class. She was a very special lady who felt very deeply for her students. We all learned so much from her. I have wonderful memories of her taking our class to Regional and State contests. We all loved her and she will be missed.

We extend our sincere condolences to all of you. Vera was a friend and respected colleague. What a life of service and dignity.

Oh Mrs.. LeBlanc.....majestically eclectic is what comes to mind!!! Without a doubt! I had Mrs. LEBLANC for 2 years in HOCT/HOSA. 1986-1988. She was a BLAST as a teacher. There was NEVER a dull moment. She is also responsible for helping me discover my true love, Nursing! Being the typical "class clown", (and a few years wiser now) I regretfully dished out my fair share of classroom mischief! But I always loved her and she was never too hard on me. May she rest in peace now and forever. God bless her family and friends. Until we meet again! Xoxo. Christie Britten.
