My Aunt Millie was the Jesus I never knew. She showed me the love of Jesus every single time I interacted with her. She was the most humble and kindest person I´ve ever known. She believed the best for me.. always. This was because she knew that God was a redeemer. When He redeemed my life and marriage, she was thrilled but not surprised. She believed in miracles and God actively involved her in many. I will miss her so very much. My life is forever changed because of this dear woman.

I have known Millie for over 30 years.
She was the role model of a Christian woman. We attended Bible Studies together at South Olive and I loved her input. I know where she is and she has received her just reward for the life she has led.
Till we meet again, I will keep her memory alive by thinking and talking about her graciousness and her Christian ways.
Will miss you, my friend. Love Kris Ruff and family.
