I am very sad to read of Mrs. Mickelsen's passing. She was a wonderful person, worked at my school, and a few years ago I spoke with her at Laura Caswell's funeral. God Bless your family.

When I saw your mother's picture in this morning's paper, I was flooded with many happy memories. We lived across the street and up the hill several houses and my sister and I were your babysitters through our early teen years. Lillian was always so kind to us at that stage in our lives. She was a good example of how to grow to womanhood graciously. I also enjoyed her when I was an adult and would often see her at the bus stop and give her a ride.
You have my sympathy in your loss.
