I can't say enough good things about Mildred. We met over 25 years ago. she was the most kind, understanding and most supportive supervisor any one person could have. We became friends almost instantly. it has been my pleasure to have known all of these years. I felt a kinship with the rest of her family as well , husband, sons, & grandchildren. May she forever rest in peace. Love you much.

My prayers are with the Willis; Paige and all family members. Mildred was always soft spoken and pleasant. In the choir loft at New Hope Baptist when we gathered in person Mildred sit in the row below me for many years; before service she would always ask about her family in my home town. Always had a big heart for checking on others. Will truly miss Mildred♥

To the family: I am so very sorry for your loss, Mildred was such a sweet person and had such a wonderful spirit. She always greeted me with a sweet smile and always asked how the family was doing. She will be so missed and I pray that God keep the family and give them the strength to carry through. My heart is sadden and weak and words cannot express the way I feel. Always from the heart Shirley .
