My Aunt Mildred was one of my favorite aunts. She was always cheerful and sweet. I remember when I was a little girl she and Uncle Lewis would take us to the movies and say "now Bette Jo remember we are not to ask for candy while at the movies", then as soon as I would walk in the door of the theather, I would say "Wow, that popcorn sure smells good" she would always buy a small bag for us to share. I will miss her but I know that she is up in Heaven with her family now and that she is being well taken care of. Thank you Aunt Mildred for all the wonderful memories.
