Not sure what to say?

To the family of Mildred. I remember when Gary and I moved to Wilton Road and met Walter and Mildred. They were always so friendly and the best neighbors anyone could ask for. I remember being outside on several occasions and seeing them slowly coming down the driveway, just SO HAPPY to be together. Also - Our Beagle (Suzy) keeps looking across that dirt road and wondering why no lights are on. Our neighborhood will never be the same.

RIP Mildred and Walter - Denise & Gary...

So sorry for your loss. May God be with your family now and always.

Sincerely Toni West & Don Smith

Thinking of all of you during this difficult time. I loved Aunt Mildred. I know she wanted to be back with Uncle Walter, and I know that she is in Heaven with my dad and all her family.

You were always a wonderful mother and I love you. There will forever be a hole in my heart. Tell Grand-Daddy and Nanny Dempsey hello from Bobby.

Thank You, Nanny for always taking time to make us the greatest snacks ever! You always poured us a glass of Coke (I think this is where I got my great love for soda) & offered us chips or cheese crackers. You always sat with us at the table & told us stories about growing up in the mountains & all about the Great Depression. I remember you telling us right before we left, "Ya'll Don't have to Rush Off." Love You! RIP

Thanks for the blood...

...I will always remember your fox and bunny stories and how we would all squeeze on your swing in the summer and you would tell me, Terri and Robin that we were so tanned that we looked like brown bears. You always gave us charles chips and cokes and we loved it! Thanks for telling me all your stories about growing up in West Virginia. I love you Nanny and I will see you in heaven one day.
