Sending our sympathy and love to the family for the loss of Millie. I remember the time she spent with us when I was 10 years old in Marblemount, WN during the WW11 while Earl was in the service. Also that Sandra was born during that time and she was the smallest child I had ever seen up to that time. Jean & Dick Eppley
