Dear Dan & Family,
Millie was the most special friend and the best of us! I can hear her laugh and voice and this makes me happy to know I can hold her spirit close to my heart! Elaine and Rick, I know you through my sister, Ann, and know Millie was so proud of you. Your Mother's spirit will remain close especially now. Dan, thank you for taking such good care of our sweet Millie all these years as we will always be thankful for your kindness.

I met Millie when I moved to C'bus in 1987 as I worked for her husband Dan. She welcomed me & my family and always made me feel special. Dan, my deepest sympathy goes out to you at this time.

I first knew Millie as Dan's wife, then as a realtor at King Thompson.
Millie has always been one the kindest, sweetest people anyone could ever want to know. Millie had a quiet grace about her like no one I have ever known. For the last 2 years we have been neighbors in the villas at Balllantrae in Dublin. Millie & Dan would come to as many of the monthly parties as was possible, she was always an inspiration to everyone. The group will not be the same without her. May she rest in peace now.

Millie was such a sweet, kind person who loved her family. I enjoyed working with her at King Thompson where we became good friends who shared lots of stories and laughs. I admired her strength and bravery as she battled cancer. I will remember her always.
