"Millie" was a special customer at Georgio's that I waited on quite a bit, at least 3 times a week. She was always smiling and was so thoughtful, just a sweet lady all around. My deepest sympathy for your loss, her presence will be missed.

I worked with Mildred at East Gaston for five years--there was not a sweeter person and she loved her work and students. I , also, graduated from high school with her sister, Dorothy, who was as sweet so sweetness and big smiles must have run in the family. Sorry about your loss, Dorothy.

I had not seen Mrs. Meeler for years but remember her fondly. Her quick wit, smile and love of reading inspired all that came in contact with her. I was so happy when she came to Easton Gaston from Stanley High. She made the move less scary. She will be missed the many students that she inspired.
