Not sure what to say?

I was blessed for several seasons to call Mildred my step-grandmother when my mother was married to Mildred´s son, Bob. I really felt fortunate to have known her. Such a gracious and loving soul! Her wisdom was inspiring. She had such a way of knowing and such depth of heart and spirit. When she´d take my hand in her hands as I spoke, I knew her understanding was far beyond the words we shared . She looked right to your soul. As families parted, we stayed in touch through holiday cards...

I am so sorry to hear of Mildred's passing. My mom (Roberta Parrett Loney - they were cousins) and I got to visit Mildred in 2008 and kept in touch - we last spoke after my mom passed away in December 2015. Mom had many fond memories of her Uncle Leonard and Aunt Lillian and Mildred. Wishing her family peace.

I'm going to miss my grandma so much! She was amazing strong and wise. She taught me so much. but I know she is with her boys, happy and healthy

I am sorry for the loss of your love one. During the days ahead may prayer comfort and strengthen you. 1Thessalonians 5:17

I really enjoyed talking with Mildred, she was an inspiration to me.

It was a great pleasure to have known Mildred. She was fixture for many years at the Ignacio Historical Society meetings. I always enjoyed her stories about Ignacio in the 1930's God speed, Mildred! You are missed!

In deepest sympathy to Mildred's family for the loss of a wonderful lady,
