The funny thing about a gift is that you never know exactly how it may be received or used. The best one can do is pray that it may serve.
It all began with a blank, white wall. Construction had created a wonderful new home for Nentwick Convalescent Home, a 100-bed facility serving the greater East Liverpool, Ohio area. Mary Tambellini, owner and administrator, wasn’t satisfied, though. She believed in something more for the residents. She believed in something more from a young employee who had been assisting his father in the maintenance painting of the facility.
The idea , like a beautiful rose, blossomed slowly and grew stronger every year. The result was over 70 wall-size murals! In every mural lies an invitation for memory to carry the viewer back to an easier time in life. They have turned the hallways into portals to the past—a place to reminisce with an old friend of the times spent there; a place where they could silently recall the people who have gone before them. But more important, a place where they could feel the joy and sweet love from days of easier and more carefree times.
These paintings have provided beauty, joy, and warmth to thousands of visitors, caregivers, and residents over many years. With this book we simply wish to do the same. Open these pages and allow your curiosity to take you where it may.
