What a uniquely delightful and spry gal Mildred was! As a dear friend of her son, Jeff, I witnessed first-hand the love and pride she had in him and all that he does. She kept us laughing with her creative expressions and her fierce indepedence. I thought she was the most adorable Mom with a constant twinkle in her eye, as if she had an inside joke going. Maybe she did! My family's prayers and wishes to Jeff and family. She was a great lady!

Long time friend of Jeff's Millie was always "the smiling face with a million questions" every time we'd meet at the house.

She will be missed.
