The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

More than my teacher...

I was one of her first students in the then new DHC vocational program.  She was a lovely woman, very intelligent and possessed more patience than Job himself with us young gals in her class!  She taught me how to take someone's blood pressure and measure their respirations per minute.  She helped me get my first full-time job at the East Liverpool Extended Care Center (now defunct).  My starting hourly rate was $1.80!  I'd like to believe that she was very proud of me, even though I didn't go into the nursing field.  I still regret that; however, to this day, I still know the difference between my systolic and diastolic BP readings!

Mrs. Shingler also had a cabin at Gilmore Lake and invited her entire class out for a day of picnicking, swimming and canoeing, of which I promptly sat on and cracked!!  She rolled her eyes at me and told me not to worry about it, and she truly meant for me to NOT worry about it!
 
No more snotty-nosed, know-it-all school girls, no more shingles and all the apple pie you could ever hope to have!  Rest in peace, Mrs. Shingler.  It's been MY pleasure to have had my life touched by your's!
