Joe, Christy and Family:
As Mildred transitioned from this place to her heavenly home she leaves a void in my life and the McKinley Class of 1957. She was a joy to be around always willing to do what she could for others. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sorry I can't be with you all to celebrate her life.
