Jean, Mickey, Pen, Wayne and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the death of Ms. Mildred. She was a dear friend of our family. My mom and dad dearly loved she and Mr. Yank. They had some fun times together on their many trips through the years. Keep those precious memories alive. She will be remembered as a very special lady who loved her family and church.
Love to all of you.

I do know that she and my mom and many more bridge players have got there weekly bridge match already planned. She was a precious lady and I am proud that I had the pleasure of knowing her. My mama and her were the best of friends..now they are together again. God Bless you all!!!
