"Dear Marsha and family, I was so sad to hear of the passing of your mother Mildred. She was my grandmother Mollie Beneschs' very best and dear friend. My Gran loved her and often shared funny and sweet stories about them together. I always enjoyed visiting with her when I was in town visiting my grandmother. She was a wonderful, sweet and truely christian woman. I know she greatly and deeply touched many peoples' lives with her lively and wonderful and her deep abiding faith and prayer. Please know all of your family will be in my prayers.

Many blessings and comfort to your family,

Love,

Shelby Sheridan

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. McKinney. She was my mother's best friend; they met in the Naomi Bible Club probably in the 1950s. I always enjoyed visiting Mildred anytime I was in Greenville up until the time she moved to Arlington. Once she moved to assisted living, I could only telephone visit; it was just a few months ago that we last talked. She always wanted to know about me and my family. She was one of the most caring persons that I ever knew. She always wittnessed for the Lord, wanting to be certain that one knew Jesus and was saved. A sweet, sweet lady, she will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with all of family as they prepare to bury her tomorrow. When I am in Greenville I go to the cemetary and visit my own parents graves and then drive around to visit the grave of Mr. McKinney. I am sorry that I cannot attend the services.
Blessings and love,
Linda Benesch"
