I am so sorry for your loss. Such wonderful memories of your Wife and Mother. She was my neighbor for many years until I moved away. She was warm loving and compassionate and always had a smile on her face. May she RIP. My thought and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.

Mildred has been a part of our lives for many years. Always cheerful and always a lady. We will miss her presents at all family functions and wish Gods blessings on her whole family. Celebrate her life as she lived it generously. Marie Brown & Richard Middleton

Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. Mildred was my neighbor for many years and Bill and both knew that we could count on Mildred to watch over our home and children when we went away for a weekend. She always had a smile and welcomed me to the neighborhood. She will be missed. May God be with your family during this time of loss.
