May God bless Mildred's family during this time. Mildred was a wonderful person. I felt awfully blessed to have had Mildred as my Godmother. While I hadn't seen her in many years, I cherish the many times my Mom, my brother Tim and I would go to her house. Mildred would welcome us into her home with open arms.

God bless you, Mildred. "Tony" will always remember you.

Though we only met Mildred once, we know she was a Godly woman because of the faith she instilled in Chuck. We praise God that she is now basking forever in His unimaginable glory, warmth and peace, with all tears wiped from her eyes, enjoying her perfect eternal body, and no pain. We continue to pray for Chuck and will try to be available if he needs us. God be with you all.
Warmest Christian Regards,

Mildred Furr touched our hearts and our lives at Novum Baptist Church. She deomonstrated the love of God in her gracious ways. She was our sister in Christ. She was our friend.

May the family be comforted to know our prayers are with you, even as we are confident of Mildred's eternal presence at home with Almighty God.

May God's love and comfort rest upon us all, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have many wonderful memories of Mildred and her family. I alway enjoyed my visits with the family. I smile now as I remember the good times we had. I was always welcomed in her home and I was treated as one of her children. She will live on with fond memories in my heart.
