Dearest Mildred, may you rest in peace and walk with Harold once more. There are no words to express what you meant in my life and the life of our family. In 1979 when we purchased your mother's home next door to you that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. You were always available to me as a new wife and mother to give cooking and child care advice. You became a grandmother to our children when their grandma went to heaven and our lives were touched with your laughter and your artistic talent. We treasure the hand made items that you crafted for the children and the wonderful caring that you had shown to us. The day you moved to Stoneridge Village was a sad day indeed...to no longer be able to knock on your kitchen door anymore was such a loss to me. I treasure all the wonderful letters that you sent during that time and enjoyed our visits to your new home. One of my fondest memories was the weekend that you came back to Pottsville for a neighbor's wedding and spent the night here in your old girlhood bedroom. You were so thrilled to lie in bed and hear the traffic on Market Street and we all laughed about it. The circumstances that brought us together was divine intervention and we will remember you with love and a smile until we meet again at the end of this road that I am still traveling. Good bye my dear friend.
Mary Maley & family
