To the Garrett Family: We were neighbors of Mildreds for over twenty years. We live in North Carolina now and saw Mildred's obituary online. The Garretts were always such good neighbors. We thought a lot of Mildred and know you will miss her very much. Our thoughts are with you. Mel and Rudonna Pipgras

To Judy, Jimmie, Dennis and Gwen, as well as to all of Mildred's family and friends...
Words are a poor medium of expression when one attempts to express the depth of love and sympathy that is felt for each of you today. We too, have lost a dear and precious lady and because our hearts are heavy we know your loss must be so much greater.
As we remember Mildred and all the special things about her, we thank God for the times we shared, the laughter, the good and the bad. She was an inspiration to us and she had a love for her family that spoke volumes. If you were a friend...you shared in that love as well.
Yes, she touched our lives in a very special way and will always be remembered with love. But to you, she not only touched your lives, she shared a blood line that continues today.
We offer ourselves in service to you as we pray that God will grant you strength for the journey, peace to fill your hearts and comfort in knowing where she is and who she is with.

To the Garrett Family,
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Although I didn't know Mrs. Garrett, I certainly felt like I knew her through the stories Jimmie would tell me as we worked together at Verizon. Jimmie's kind words and always upbeat attitude at work certainly came from a loving family and began with a loving mother.
Please find peace in knowing that she's finally home to be with her King.

Grandma, you were and always will be the dearest woman I know. I love you so much. God blessed me with a geat grandmother. I am so glad both of my daughters, Lindsey and Courtney, knew you just as well as I did. I will always savor the memories we had together. I could go on and on with so many of them. The one that is dearest to me though is the way you would reach for my hand and we would walk together when I visited you. You called me Gracie and I can still hear that today.

Judy,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Momma. We know that only time and God will heal the pain you are now going through. May you find strength in God's presence at this time, and may HIS love comfort you in all the days to come. Momma's are angels sent to earth by God. Remember that you will see her again and what a glorious reunion that will be! You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
