Don and Ron,
Janie and I just returned from my sister in law's funeral in Atlanta and heard about Mildred. We're so sorry but we know where she is. God bless you for taking such good care of her and may He comfort you with His peace. Sorry we can't get to the Funeral Home.

Don, We are sorry to hear of Mildred's death but also rejoice that she is now with her Savior. She was such a deal lady and you were a wonderful son and caretaker for her. We will be lifting you up as you lead her memorial service and in the days to come. We love you.
