So sorry my Mom and I never got to see Mill this past year. She always had a smile for everyone and her quick wit always showed when you spent time with her. The last time I saw her was at her old house. So it's been a while. Sending you all my prayers and let's get together after this pandemic is over and celebrate our family and her life.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved mom and grandma Orrange and Pistner families. She was truly one of a kind and, yes, a prime example of the greatest generation. I enjoyed visiting her over the years when I would come back to WNY. She always had a kind word and a quick wit. She was so proud of all her family and inspired me with her faith. May you find comfort in your many good memories of her well-lived life.
