Mike and the Zelden family,
I was very sad to hear about the loss of your mother.I have many memories of your Mom back in the Lusher days and would sometimes see her at a parade on St Charles Ave years later. What I remember most is that she always had a smile. You and your family have my deepest sympathy at this most difficult time.

Scott and family, please accept my sincerest sympathy in the loss of your wonderful mother. As a Lusher elementary student I got to know Millie as a fun and cheerful person whom I always enjoying seeing. She made my childhood brighter.

Millie was a dear friend and companion to my dad-Clarence Usner- and to me for many years. She filled a great void for my dad after the loss of my mother. They worshiped in the same church and enjoyed going to sports events together and were good company for each other. I am very greatful that she was a part of my dad's life. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Joan Usner Salvant
