I get a big smile on my face whenever I think of Mildred. So many wonderful times driving up and visiting with my parents when I was young. And in 1983 when Oscar and Mildred visited me in Atlantic City New Jersey. Those memories and many more will cause Mildred to live in my heart for all my life.
