Dear friends, we are sorry that we could not be with you at the Memorial Service. Our son, Brian, is in Westchester Medical following a serious motorcycle accident. We have fond memories of Millie. She gave me an angel ornament last time I saw her. Her coffee cake recipe is one of our favorites. We continue to pray for you all. Barbara and Walter

Millie was a treasure! While I am sorry for your loss, I am happy she is with her Fred! She was a hoot and a half...and made me smile every time I saw her.

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember Aunt Millie growing up and for her friendship with my Mom through all the years. Sandy and I still use the "green ceramic turtle" that she made and gave us when we were first married. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
