Oh my, 5 years since Milly went home!! In so many ways, it seems yesterday, yet in others it seems so so long ago. Payton and I were just talking about her the other day. What a beautiful lady she was! A heart of gold! We miss her.

Bruce & Jim, It has been some time since I spoke with Milly. I would ask her about Tom and she was always hopeful she would see him again. Our family will be sorry to hear of her passing. She was a very beautiful woman. Our prayers are with your family.

Bruce & Jim:
We loved growing up and having Millie be our "2nd Mom". Great and wonderful memories of those Harrison St. years. We were just planning on another visit to your Mom when the news came. A great woman has left us and we are all sad BUT very glad to have known and loved her. Her laugh, her stories, her zest for life will have a special place in our hearts. She was a lifetime friend. God be with you during this time of good-bye.

Langedyke Family,
It breaks my heart to know Milly is gone. She was such an inspiration to us, and an adopted grandmother to our children when they were little. Even our grandchildren loved her! She was a dear lady and a wonderfully encouraging friend. I wish I could have had the pleasure of one more visit with her. She will always remain in our hearts.
We loved her dearly and will miss her.
We offer our sympathy to you, Bruce, Mary Lou & Matthew, Jim & Karen and family. Good to know there is another angel in heaven watching over us all!
Sending love.....
