I have know Millie for years. We lost touch with each other two years ago. I remember her million dollar smile and her twinkling eyes. Millie and I talked all hours of the night when one of us had a problem. She was my very good friend. I will miss her deeply.

My wonderful Aunt Millie! We had the honor to live next door to her and to talk and see her very often. I would always call and check on her and Taylor and Jared always went over just to visit. our last Christmas together was so wonderful. She was such a great honest and loving person. She made me truely feel part of the family. I may be only related by marriage, but she made me feel that blood does not matter, it's what is in your heart that does. I know she is watching over us all. I miss you so much Aunt Millie and I will always love you. I will be there for Curry always and forever. God Bless!!

My "sweet" Aunt Millie, What a wonderful woman she was! I loved her so much, there was never a time that I ever seen her, that she didnt tell me that she loved me, Her Love was truely genuine. AUnt Millie was sort of like my daddy "James Earl Terry" you never had to guess what she thought, she would gladly tell you! :) Thats just the unique person that she was. She never let her illness over come her, Even on her worst days when asked how she was, she would smile and say im fine Honey! She didnt want any sympathy, she was just a very strong woman. Definitely a woman you could look up to and admire!

You may be gone from this Life, But your memory lives on in our hearts forever!

(Now you are another Guardian Angel that watches over us!}

I love you!! and Miss you!

I remember Millie as a sweet woman who loved her family deeply. She was so kind. I know that she was a strong person with a giant heart. From the first moment I met her, she treated me as though I had been part of her family for years. Although we all wish she were still with us, she has now been given the job to watch over us and hopefully save a seat for us in heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends. I understand how deep the pain of losing a sibling and a mother can be. They are alive and well in our hearts and will always be a part of our lives.

Millie, you will always be with us as we remember the fun times we had together. God blessed us when he sent you to us with your beautiful smile and your sense of humor. I still laugh knowing Marty never figured out who told me to call her Nunna. God bless you!

Millie was my friend and co-worker at Reeves Williams. You were an inspiration to all of us who knew you. You always thought of others and even during your own struggles, you rarely complained. I miss you so much Millie, your laughter, your sweet spirit and your friendship. You leave us with so many wonderful memories!!

I am so sorry for your loss and sorry we have lost touch after moving from Memphis in 1981. Mildred was so wonderful to Aunt Sibyl and had a heart of gold. My Mother Ernestine Roberson said it best, " She had the best spirit and love and meant evry word she said. I loved her. "
