Not sure what to say?

I often visited with Mrs. Boswell at Welmont and learned to care for her very much and miss her. Godbless

I'm so sorry, I just found out today as I was looking through the Mechanicsville Local. Mildred was my mom's very best friend and a wonderful person. She was a very special person to me, especially after my mom past away. She will be missed greatly. All of the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember everytime I wanted to have a tea party Nanny was always willing and up for the eventure. As a 5 year old girl this was a lot of fun and something that I always looked forward to, especially the ginger snaps she would always share. These are some of my most cherished childhood memories. I will always remember how sweet she was to us (Trentadue) kids and how she treated us like one of her own. It was nice to have a Nanny and Poppy that lived right next door when we were so far...

Mildred (Nanny) was such a nice, sweet, and loving person. She was introduced to my family by her granddaughter Kellie. We will celebrate her life forever.

Mildred was a wonderful aunt and friend.
She always had a smile and hug. Oh, the
memories of the card games!
She will be greatly missed.

I have known Mildred all my life. As a child, Mildred was my Sunday School Teacher. She was loving, caring, thoughtful, and a friend to everyone. Mildred was the "Mother" of our church. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
