1. Admitted. However, it is noted that for reasons known only to her, Ms. Basehore did not
attach a copy of the Power of Attorney to the Petition. It is requested that your Honorable Court
direct Ms. Basehore to submit a copy of the Power of Attorney at trial.
2. Admitted. However, by way of additional information, it is noted that Emily Jane Miller
resided with her daughter, Lori Miller, at her own home until July 22, 2012, when Wendy
Basehore and her husband, and Jeffrey Miller and his wife, Christine Miller, surreptitiously
removed Emily Jane Miller from her residence.
3. Admitted in part. It is noted that for reasons known only to them, your Petitioners have
omitted Emily Jane Miller's brother, namely Charles Melvin Cobaugh. Mr. Cobaugh resides at
746 Turnpike Road, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.
4. Admitted in part. However, the following is noted:
-- The assessed value is not necessarily an accurate value of a residence in Lancaster
County.

-- For reasons known only to them, your Petitioners have omitted a box of coins. It
is requested that your Honorable Court direct your Petitioners to account for what they have
done with the box of coins.
5. It is admitted that it would appear that your Petitioners' addition is correct. However,
there is no mention or accounting for the coins.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. A legal conclusion to which no response of pleading is required.
9. Your Respondent has no basis with which to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of this
statement and strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
10. No response of pleading is required.
11. It is believed that Wendy Basehore may have the Power of Attorney. However, for
reasons known only to her, and perhaps her Counsel, the Power of Attorney was not attached to
the Petition. Hence, it is requested that your Honorable Court direct Ms. Miller to produce the
actual Power of Attorney at the time of trial.
12. Your Respondent has no basis with which to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of this
statement and strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted.
15. No response of pleading is required. However, it is noted that your Petitioners have
proposed that Keystone Elder Law, P.C., be the mediators. Respondent believes and therefore
avers that Keystone Elder Law, P.C., and each of the Petitioners, may have an ulterior motive.

16. No response of pleading is required. It is noted that Respondent does not object to
Wendy Basehore being appointed Guazdian of the Estate for Emily Jane Miller. However, she
strongly objects to Christine Miller being appointed Guardian of the Person because Christine
Miller and her husband, and Wendy Basehore and her husband, have attempted to alienate Emily
Jane Miller from Respondent. It is noted that Respondent has been the primary caregiver for
Emily Jane Miller since July, 2006. It is also believed and therefore averred, based on her prior
actions, that Christine Miller will alienate and isolate Emily Jane Miller from Respondent, who
has been her caretaker for many years.
17. No response of pleading is required.
WHEREFORE, Lori Miller would respectfully request your Honorable Court enter an
Order as following:
-- Appointing a Guardian for the Estate of Emily Jane Miller.
-- Appointing a neutral person as Guardian for the Person of Emily Jane Miller.
-- Granting any other relief the Court deems appropriate under the circumstances.
Respectfully submitted,
Pyfer, Gray, Straub & Farhat, P.C.
