Millie took many pictures of my family from my high school graduation picture, my 4 children, and my granddaughter. She was a very special person and we always enjoyed visiting with Millie and Gloria when we picked up our pictures. Our sympathy to your family.

Millie will be dearly missed, I remember the sense of humor she had. I always enjoyed being able to process for photos, and was blessed when she asked if she could pictures of my girls. I'll also never forget how she asked me when I was going to open up my own studio after looking at my photos. I'm sure she'll be taking photos from where ever she is.
