Millie was a GREAT PERSON she would make me laugh to the point I would cry. I will never forget her face, she would light up when I was in her room @ Epoch
(We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly in death our hearts to lose you did not go alone;
For part of us went with you, the day called you home, you left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide;and through we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same but God calls us one by one;
the chain will link again)
God Bless,

Dear Family Members,

My sincerest sympathy at the loss of your aunt. I used to drive Sr. St. Basil and Sr. Hillary to visit her in Stoughton, and I would often see her at Mass at Immaculate Conception. Mildred was always so gracious and most hospitable. I am sorry I cannot express my sympathy in person, but know of my prayers for Mildred and for all your family. May the hope and promise of resurrection comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Sr. Susan Reilly, CSJ
