I LOVED MILDRED. SO SMART, SO KIND AND HAVE HER PHOTO TO REMIND ME OF HER ALWAYS. WE WERE CAP ADVISORS FOR DADE COUNTY SCHOOLS. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER. BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO KNEW HER. I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU. YOU MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. LOVE, MARY RITCHEY

it is hard to imagine that a year has transpired since you took leave of us. You picked a good month full of meaning - my birthday, Gil's birthday, Dia de Los Muertos (which is an excellent time to remember our ancestors(, and Thanksgiving - a time to embrace our families and share the Love. A Love Supreme you showered on us and we continue to shine in its warm rays. Peace.

Dear Raifords: You know that I love you all. I cannot express how much I love Mrs. Raiford and how much she is missed. Lifting all of you and her Spirit in light and love. Fred.

DEAR LOVING KINDNESS, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND HOPE TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER YOURS. MARY RITCHEY CAP

Dearest Dr. Raiford and Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy. I just learned of Ms. Mildred´s passing, today. I didn´t know her well but did know that she was loving and kind. Her eyes lit up when she spoke of her children and grands. It´s sad and extremely difficult. " Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning". Think of her as being away. You will see her again. Love, Sandra Evans King

Although I didn´t know Ms. Mildred well, I knew she was a sweet soul with a loving heart. She loved her husband children, and grandchildren and it showed, as her face lit up when she spoke of them. I´m so sorry, Mr. Trees. I believe that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." We will see Ms. Mildred again. God bless you and your family and please accept my deepest sympathy. Love Sandra Evans King

Mildred was a kind soul, a good listener, and genuinely cared about her friends. I am so grateful for the years I got to spend with her and Gil. We have an angel in heaven watching over us all. My condolences to the Raiford family. With love and respect, Désirée Jamerson

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
