To all those who knew Aunt Millie,
With all her heart, love, and good intentions she would want us to show others the kindness, joy, and love that God has given us to others. Her door was always open to help others and her giving spirit will long be felt beyond her life through us. From my mother who loved her like a sister, father who trusted her with our very lives, and from my heart she will never be forgotten by my children, my mate, or myself. From all friends who knew and loved you "Always love & be respectful."

My husband Paul Hornyak Jr. worked for Mildred. He thought the world of her. I remember all the cards and help during my husband's cancer treatments. Now they are together and have a lot to talk about.

I worked with Ms. Dunham at LCJFS.
She was a true humanitarian. I admired the kindness and sincerety she gave to others. I am saddened by her passing. God Bless.

Dear Reader:

Please know that Aunt Millie gave her life to Jesus Christ several months ago. She was the best aunt anyone could have. At this point, she would tell you to give your life to Jesus Christ and live each day to the fullest.
