" When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows, like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say IT IS WELL!" Mrs. Mills was an inspiration to ALL of 3rd Street Bethel.

Dear Butch,

Auntie was a shinning star and you certainly made sure it continued to shine until the day she closed her eyes. In your sorrow may each kindness, each word, each memory be a gentle comfort. May you always have peace.

I will miss Ms. Mills. She was a sweet and kind lady. I knew her and Mr Mills as 2 of the nicest of neighbors on Edgewood Ave. She always had a smile and a kind word. She will truly be missed in the neighborhood.
