It's been a long time since we worked together at Lowe's, but I will never forget how wonderful it was to work with you. The way you found my stubbornness, crankiness, and blatant disregard for the rules entertaining and amusing; while always striving to be kind, flexible, and following every rule to a T, made working with you a delightfully fun and unique experience. Rest in peace Millie. You will be missed.

Dear Clara, was so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious sister, your dear loved one! My heart breaks for each of the family. I have a sister...hard to think how hard it would be if I lost my sister. Prayers for God's comfort and peace.

I will miss Millie at our YHS class reunions. I live in Tennessee and do not see Millie and other classmates in Yadkinville, but I think about her quite often and remember her smile and bubbly personality. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Millie was a YSH classmate of mine. I did not know her well at the time but I remember her as having a very sweet personality. I'm very sorry to hear of her passing and she is in my prayers.
