Condolences to devoted husband Gerry, brother Earl, sister Margaret, and all the family!
Our good phone conversation with "Millie" two weeks ago is something we shall cherish.--- Probably our mailed card arrived too late for Mildred to read it; but perhaps it will give solace to you, Gerry.
We shall hold onto fond memories of times shared and shall keep you in our prayers. God bless you!
