Dear Mort,
Im so very sad to see that Cousin Millie has passed. I adored her. She reminded me of my dad, Bill Schoninger. I felt that we shared some DNA, to tell you the truth. I will continue to cherish memories of our all too infrequent visits.
Love, Andi and Wayne Chorney, Hamden

Oh my favorite lady Millie, years after Ellyn and Larry moved away I still was in touch with Millie. I think we went to lunch one day too. I will miss her wonderful spirit, strength and sense of humor! What a beautiful lady. I have known her since I was a very little girl as I was good friends with Ellyn.
My thoughts, love and comforting prayers are with your family.
