Dear Family and Friends, Thank you for entering a tribute to my Mom's guest book. To me, she was always a comfort, a friend, a source of inspiration and a dear Mother. She has been described recently as amazing, a good friend, co-worker and confidant. Other describers have been: a classy woman, funny, a WordSmith, and a tough old bird. She was all these things and I will honor her memory forever. Love is eternal.
Love,
Georgia Braden Rohan

Aunt Millicent,
I must admit that for most of my life you were my "Aunt Millie" but later learned that you much preferred "Millicent". Therefore, I will remember you always as Millicent.
You had a long, meaningful life and touched many people along the way. It takes a special person to give so much.
I am proud to have known you and to be a part of the Bristow legacy.
Your nephew,
Al
