Dear, sweet Millie. I think of you often and of all the memories we shared. Having our 50th high school reunion this past Fall made me miss you more. Rest in peace, my friend.

Millie and I had many classes together in high school. I didn't know her real well other then I quickly realized what a sweetheart of a person she was. her smile was infectious. Surely, it was a real treat for those who knew her well. Those being family, what a blessing.

My sincerest condolences.

This is the first I am hearing of Millie's passing. We were very close friends during high school and had recently reconnected through Facebook. We had a wonderful visit when I went to see her during our freshman year of college. I am heartsick. My deepest condolences to her beloved family.
