Blessings. I am looking to get in touch with Philip McCormick, brother of Millicent. I have a packet of letters from their Mother, Loretta, to my grandmother, Greta. They were good friends in Yonkers, NY, in the 1940´s. If anyone can help, please email [email protected].

Millie was a BEAUTIFUL human being. I worked with her at Lorber Industries and she was always so kind. I always got a creative "charge" visiting with her.

Shine on, Millie! I worked with Millie at Lorber Industries from 1989 to 2006. I always loved to visit her in the Art Department. She was always so kind and was such a lovely and down-to-earth woman and an amazing artist to boot. I am grateful to have those memories; I look back on them fondly. I actually still have a beautiful scarf she gave me one year for our X-mas gift exchange. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family/survivors.
