Name: The Williams Family
Entry: Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and hope in the Bible's promise, "Your dead ones will live. . . . They will rise up." --Isaiah 26:19 The Bible teaches that man was not created by God to die, but death came about as a result of sin, way back in the Garden of Eden. --Romans 5:12. So even though death has afflicted mankind down to our day, God promises to undo the effects of death and even do away with death itself. Please read this for yourself at Revelation 21:3, 4. What a wonderful hope is presented in God's Word. . . being able to live right here on earth in paradisaic conditions with our loved ones beside us. --Psalms 37:29 It is our hope that reading these scriptures will comfort you during this time of loss.

Entry: JoAnn and Linda, I was so very sorry to hear of Mildred's passing. Her wonderful life of service,as an educator and volunteer, speaks volumes about the size of her heart and loving spirit. She was an inspiration to us all. I will always cherish the memories of visits to her home as a child. Our dad, Robby McElwain, counted her as one of his favorite cousins and she was loved by all of us. I will miss her.

Entry: Aunt Mildred has always reminded me of summer days along the river in Evergreen.
She always had a smile for me and a brilliant story that would engage my imagination. I am so thankful that she was able to meet my two girls at her 95th birthday. I will always cherish her memory and will miss her dearly.
Until we meet again, be at peace.

Name: Carol Perry Davis
Entry: As I recall, JoAnn, you and I played a two-piano number under the direction of Mrs. Blim at a little concert hall downstairs at Ward Parkway Shopping Center around 1965 or so. That was probably my only contact with the Schooling Family, but I did want to extend to you and your family my condolences concerning the loss of your mother. Regardless of age or condition, it's tough to say goodbye to a parent. Even though our memories of each other are limited, I did want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Name: Carol Engel Poppe
Entry: I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I was thrilled that I got to see her last May at Barstow. What a great lady and teacher. She was absolutely one of my favorites at Barstow and everyone has always had a nice word to say about her. I can still remember her encouraging me with my drawing and art. She always made me feel special in what must have been a difficult year since it was the first year she had boys in the classroom. That was 48 years ago. I know you and your family will miss her greatly.

Entry: My dears cousins, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Mildred. I loved her almost as much as my own mother and feel a great loss. I do have some wonderful memories of her and they will have to keep me going. You both were angels in the way you took care of her and I'm sure there will be a big hole in your lives now. But she is with her brother and parents now and they will take over for you. I love you, Elaine
