Dear Tim, Colleen and family,

What I remember about the Mills family when growing up in Holmesburg is that they were a strong and loving family. May that love and strength bring them peace during this time of grief.

My prayer is that Mrs. Mills is now at rest in the loving arms of our Lord and may comfort be brought to her family.

Most Sincerely,
April Mae (Macdonald) Rugletic,
Voorhees, NJ
