Sorry to hear of Ms. Mildred's passing. She was such a kind hearted person that I had the privilege of meeting in my life. I worked for her at the Dairy Queen on Gray Highway in the 70's when I was a teenager. She was always encouraging me to be my best and be sure of myself. She instilled in me a good work ethic. I'm sure she'll be missed by all that knew her.
