Mike, Dick, Micky, and all of your families, I had many occasions to share time with Millie and it was always special. I share in your sorrow with the loss of this gentle lady. I will remember her for her happy spirit, easy smile, quick sense of humor, kind thoughts, and loving heart. Take pride in knowing that all of these fine traits live on in the very special family that she loved so dearly.

To our cousins and the families,
We mourn with you the loss of your wonderful Mom. What a loving aunt she has been. We will always miss her but her warm smile will never escape our heart and memory. It is not goodbye for us, but simply "see you later Aunt Millie".
