Dear Backlund family and friends of Mildred,
My sincere sympathy to all of you. I remember Mildred as a good friend, a friendly smile, a willing worker, and a proud grandma. She was a special lady and I always liked her so much. I miss all my friends at New Home. I know everyone at New Home is going to miss Mildred.

May the peace of the Lord be with you now and forever.
