To Cathy and family:

I was sorry to hear about Miss Mildred's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her at the Petg. Health Dept. starting on Filmore St until she retired. She was one sweet lady I will never forget. As a matter of fact, I thought about her just this week when I bought ingredients to make her Cabbage Cassarole recipe. She was a wonderful person who I know will not only be missed by you and her loving family but everyone she knew throughtout her lifetime. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Sincerely, Nancy Small Barnes
