To the family of Mildred Peterson,
I meet your mother at 1000 So. Artery and got to know her by having breakfast there once a week with my cousin. I am so sorry for your loss.
She was a lovely person. I will miss her.

Linda and Paul,
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow with the loss of Mildred. What a blessing she was to our mother in her time of need. A good friend.
I am sure her good deeds will be rewarded, and we are happy, for her sake, that this was not a long, drawn out process. Our comfort is knowing she is at peace.
It will be difficult coming to terms with the fact that she is no longer here with us.
We will miss her terribly.
The Bonomi's & DiCesare's
