Sincere Sympathy
Dear Karen, Elwood and the entire Mendenhall family. I am sorry for your loss. Alma was one of my favorite cousins. My mom used to take us to see her and I was always happy to catch up with her at the Criswell reunion. I know it is hard. You can keep her alive in your hearts by remembering and sharing the good and funny stories. You will see her again in heaven. Prayers for everyone. God Bless!

Condolences to the Mendenhall Family.
Sorry to hear about Alma passing on. We lived just down the road from your family years ago in West Caln. She was always kind to us. May God grant you peace at this time in your loss.
Mom
I can’t believe your really gone Mom. You were always such a strong and wonderful person. You had a lot of hard times in the past, but you always rose above it. You we my “Super Hero”!
Not only were you my Mom, but you were always my Best Friend, and I could, and Did tell you everything. You knew all my darkest secret’s, and never judged me not once.
So many times I would pick up the phone to call you and tell you something, and in a few split seconds it hit me that you were no longer here. I was always use to calling every other day and now your gone!
I love and miss you Mom. Until we meet again. Your daughter Jean
