My mother, Alice Mazanet, shared a table with Millie. Mom never had her nails polished until she met her; After that she had them polished just like Millie, her best friend at Shady Lane.

Millie was one of my most favorite volunteers. When the St. Nazianz storm came through at 1145am she wanted to leave the office. It was too late...the storm was upon us. I just asked her to start praying for the situation, which she did. I'll never forget her...the kindest and most capable person. I am very sorry for your loss. You were sure good kids to her!

Dear Friends/Neighbors! I am sending my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother. My fondest childhood memories bring up so many great thoughts about your family. Your mom was always such a dear heart. I still see her hanging all of that laundry out, "Lady" in her pen and your Dad coming up the driveway, calling Mary...."Punkin, get me a beer". We had great times at your house and with all of you....memories that will always be a part of us all. Your mother and my grandma Claribel were so close...she loved your mom so much and treasured her so dearly as her closest friend. May they both be reunited now....I send my love and best wishes to you all and will be honored to solo for your mom's funeral service tomorrow.
Please take good care. Peace.

Love,
Susanna Schaus
