My Mama adored Mildred & I remember Mildred telling my Mama the same.. They had so many good times together. When my Mama got 'sick', Mildred was there for us. That meant so much to me. My heart is broken for y'all.. Until we see her again. I think of her & my Mama together talking & picking, & laughing! I just smile with tears in my eyes!
