I am so sorry to hear of Milt's passing. What a blessing Milt and your family's friendship was to me during my years in Ft. Wayne. Through church and especially Koliah, I have many happy memories of Milt. Being a part of Koliah, under Milt's leadership brought new friendships and a special way to praise and serve God into my life. With my sincere sympathies to your family for your loss, Cindy Oyer Heiniger

Dear Glenna and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate Milts life. I remember him fondly and he will be forever imprinted in my mind when I remember my early years at church. Milts love for both music and the Lord are just two of the legacies he leaves behind.

Already looking forward to seeing Milt again, without the physical burdens that are no longer his. A truly great and genuine person who made me laugh every time I was with him. I pray for the family that God will ease your pain and heart ache!
