Diane and Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am one of Rita (Margaret Brennan) and Jim Duffy's daughters.

Millie was a very special person and family member. I used to enjoy "Cousin Millie's" visits.

It turned out that both Millie and Rita married a "Duffy." Frank Duffy and Jim Duffy. Rita and Jim now live in Bourne, MA and are 91 and 90 respectively.

I remember when my sister Kathy and I catered Millie and Frank's 25th anniversary many years ago (early 80's). It was a lot of fun.

May Millie rest in peace.

Diane K and family, I offer my sympathy to all for your loss. May she rest in peace.

I am Grace Duggan’s niece. Grace and Millie were childhood friends and remained friends for many years. They had not been in touch for several years but Grace often mentioned Millie and wondered how she was doing. Grace passed away this March and we miss her terribly.

I have fond memories of Millie and Frank from years ago when we were all younger. I am comforted by the thought of lifelong friends reuniting in Heaven. May they rest in peace.
