To the entire Cole family,
I was greatly saddened to learn of Mildred's death. I have very fond memories of her. She was the first Sunday school teacher I remember at St. John's. She was always there with a smile for everybody. She had a beautiful spirit. She was an angel that was on loan to us for a time but now she has reclaimed her place with the other angels in heaven. I hope that the memories you share of her will bring you comfort in the days to come.
Sincerely,
How you can show support

Mildred's smiling face will be missed around St John's. I can't remember a time that she wasn't there! She was a woman of strong faith & an example to follow. It was truly a blessing to have known her. My sympathies to her family.
