Aunt Mildred was and is one of the neatest ladies I have ever met. I remember visiting her my senior year of high school and she sat there encouraging me to get out there and have fun. Make the most of every day of my life. I will never forget her enthusiasm and love she gave. She will be greatly missed but wonderfully remembered.

I will miss great-grandma and enjoyed every visit to see her. I pray God is holding her now. She was always so nice to me. Love, Ian

Mildred represented the best in all of humanity...she cared about others, was a wonderful mother, mentor and friend. Her Christian lifestyle and values were obvious to those around her. There will never be another Mildred...A dear friend, mother,and now angel. God bless the family in this time of grief and mourning...May God grant you serenity and peace in the coming weeks and months.
I had previously signed the funeral home's guest book as well. Love, Helen Hudgins and Cathy Hudgins Arnett, formerly of Richmond, VA,and Mizpah Church.
