To the McAfee family,
Our condolences to all of you! My family were parishioners of Precious Blood Church for many years and knew both Charlie and Millie. My brothers and I attended P.B. grade school. Millie was my families nurse when Dr. Brosius was alive and a good friend and confidant to my mother Rita W. Carboni. Millie was also a member of the widows of prayer along with my mother. She was such a loving, caring person and she will be missed by many. Heaven has truly been blessed!

To The McAfee Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss especially this time of year. I'm sure your mother was greeted by your dads loving arms. I was so touched when she came to my fathers funeral in November of 2010 to give us comfort. I can just see all those Precious Blood couples hanging out at a Green Frog in heaven.
May the Holy Spirit wrap his wings around each of you and give you comfort. Every day I Thank God for the wonderful parents he gave all of us. God Bless each of you and give you comfort. Jolleen (Bales) Patterson

To all the McAfee family, I did not mean to only include Charlie in my condolences. When I saw that Millie had passed away too, I was reminded of the great times both she and Charlie had with my parents in their younger years. My parents talked so much about both. Your mother was indeed a true inspiration for everyone. Blessings and Prayers, Bonnie (Betley) Hilsmier

Millie was a grand lady, full of faith and smiles. The weekday morning rosary before Mass will not be the same without Millie. God Speed Millie! I know you are dancing with your love, Charlie.

December 20, 2011

What a woman! What a role model Millie is for all for us. Bob and I loved Millie and Charlie. And yes, we loved sitting close to them during the football games. They were a godsend when Central Catholic closed. I am sorry I can't be with your families at this time, but I am grateful that I was able to spend a little time visiting with Millie after a friend's funeral this Fall. Remembering Millie always, I am Mary K. Houser

I am the daughter of Ted & Lealah (Lou) Betley. My dad and Charlie were very good friends, as was my mother. They always enjoyed seeing Charlie at ballgames where he umpired, and getting their Christmas cards each year. My dad would kid Charlie about waiting until he was 40 to get married. You have my sincere sympathies, but you must have wonderful memories to carry you thru this time. May Our Lord's Loving arms comfort each of you, and treasure all the great times. Prayer and Blessings, Bonnie (Betley) Hilsmier

My sweet Aunt Millie. You were one of a kind. Always doing for others. You will be missed by those of us left behind but Jesus knew you were tired and He wanted you home with him. Love,
