To the family of Pauline Miller,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother, & grandmother. She was a wonderful lady, I only new for a short time,but I truly feel honored to have
taken care of such a sweet person. I want to let you know I think that the reason she & I bonded was because she reminded me of my Grandmother, Vi Mendenhall. It is so hard to loose such a person. I remember the last time I had spoke with her I told her it was ok, I will come & see her on Friday and that I loved her & kissed her cheek. She told me she loved me too, & that now she wants to see her son Davey. I cried & everyone in the hall & the room could not thank me enoughe & for all that I am so greatful. I will never forget any of you. Remember God has promised us a better place & that he will not allow us more than we can handle.
To all of you be strong, & allwy's cherish the moments we all have together.
God Bless to you all.
Love Dave Mendenhall (cna)

Friends,
I was so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing when Barbara called me the other night to let me know. I'm sorry I cannot be there for you at the services. I know Pauline would understand. We have been watching grandkids and celebrating birthdays all this weekend.
There are many memories of you Mom that I hold dear in my heart - picking strawberries, putting up garden produce (especially shelling peas and snapping green beans), going to Elsie's for bingo club and many, many more. I will always remember your Mom's laugh and how it seemed to fill the room with good cheer for everyone.
I hope that all of you live from this day forward with fond memories of the love and devotion your Mom and Dad had for each of you.
Sincerely,
Bill Scrivner
