Lucy my prayers and thought go out to you and your family. I still enjoy telling people about the fun times I have had with Milton back in the 70's and 80's, being it drinking or cooking, he was good at both. He was very comical and a joy to be around.

Lucy, may God hold you close and give you the peace, the love and the understanding that you need right now. God is awesome and HE wants you, Whitney and Paul to remember the good times you all had together as a family. These memories will somewhat give you the peace you need knowing Milton is in a better place and a very happy place where everything is perfect. Yes you will miss Milton but know that God has special plans for you and HE loves you.

When I heard about Milton my first thought was how does someone with so much life leave so suddenly. I know many have heard me say repeatedly that one should never put a question mark where God has put a period. But I know a great void will be felt for Milton by his family and numerous friends for to meet Milton was to love him. Prayers for all. Charlotte and Calvin Wimer. Kountze, Texas
