As a former MPP student of Mrs. Bentley, I was saddened to hear of her passing. I will always remember her warm smile, devotion for her students, and of course, her Treasure Chest!

Grandma Dear,

We had a bond that could never be broken. You taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. It was such a privilege to have you as my grandmother. I will miss our marathon phone calls where you would so patiently listen to my problems of the day and shared a secret and a laugh. I have so many wonderful memories of you and grandpa that I will cherish forever. You will be greatly missed but I have comfort knowing that you and grandpa will be watching over me from heaven. I love you.
