Steve is right, it has been a roller coaster for emotions in the family. We have lost a very important piece to our family puzzle in Millie. It's been a year, and I too still think about her every day since she passed. I take comfort in knowing she looks down on all of us every day, and the love still remains, it never left. We lost Sheena a day before Millie's one year this year. I miss you both, I hope you both found one another with Grandma Bowers in heaven. Til we all are together again. Love Brian

I was completely shocked when I heard about Millie's passing. Millie watched over and took wonderful care of my sister Cindy for many years for which I am eternally grateful. Millie...on behalf of myself and Cindy, Thank You, you will be sadly missed. Other people will get to know Cindy, but not like you did. My condolences to Millie's family who I know meant the world to her.

Words cannot express how I felt about my mother in law. I love her and miss her. She always made every day spent with her a special one. She never judged or said anything bad about anyone. I am blessed to have had her for my mother in law. Rest In Peace mom, and be assured I will do everything in my power to take care of your Husband, Daughter Lisa and Grand Daughters Alyssa, Sierra, and Felicity for all of my days. Thanks for all the love you gave me. I love you mom!!

My condolences to you, Bob and your daughters. I tried to contact all of you when my own mother passed away in September 2003 but I could not find a way to contact you nor could I remember Frances' married name. I live in an apartment with my brother, Michael, above an apartment where my son, Corey, lives. We are a few blocks from where my parents are buried. My own health has not been good since my mother died. I am suffering from your mother-in-laws affliction and my father's digestive problems. I can not lift or carry things any more without having weakness so I do not go anywhere in humid conditions. While I would like to attend the funeral, I do not think that the weather will permit my doing so. Again, sorry to hear that my cousin is no longer enjoying the life that your family gave her.

Lisa,
My thoughts and Prayer to you and your family.
