My sincere condolences are extended to all of Sister Mildred.
The last time we were all together was in a grand celebration song service . She was vibrant and praising the Lord. We had a marvelous time that day, but it is nothing compared to the glorious celebration that she is going to attend as she is welcomed before the throne of God. Praise God.
