Memories of Mildred
Carol, Dale and family, Sorry for the loss of your Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
May the God of all comfort become your refuge and strength during this most difficult time, until he reunites love ones into the arms of their families. (John 11:25,26) Please accept our sincere condolences.
Carol - So very sorry to hear of Millie's passing. I'm so thankful we got to see and visit with her at Ruth & Joe's anniversary party. She was a night owl that night. Also, thankful she did not have to suffer much. I'm sure your Dad is happy to have her with him now.
Sudden deaths like this is very difficult. You hang in there and hold on tight to all those great memories.
Love Ya, Janet & Rick Guse
We have a lot of wonderful memories of visits to Bill & Millie's farm to shoot the bull, play cards and, of course, have a few beers. Even after Bill passed, Millie still put up with us! We had so much fun with those two and am comforted, at least, that they're together again.
Carol, Dale, and family
My sympathy to you during this sad time. Cherish the many happy memories you have of her.
Dale and Carol,
Just read of Millie's passing. She and Bill have a special place in our book of memories. Our sympathy to you and yours.
In friendship,
Tom & Dena (Kingsley) Schliesman
Carol,
So sorry to to hear of your mom's passing. Our prayers are with you and all your family. You where there when our mom passed.
Dearest Carol,
I am so sad to hear of Millie's passing. You and your family have our deepest sympathy. I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood at your farm. Your Mom and Dad were like another set of parents for me. Your Mom was always calm and welcoming, and put up with all of our antics, even when we let the pet parakeet fly into the dishwater. Millie was such a wonderful friend and card playing companion to Mom, and I really appreciate that. We will miss her terribly.
Love, Phyllis (and family)
We are so glad we got to spend time with your Mom at Joe and Ruth's 25th anniversary. She was a excellent card player. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ronnie and Sharon Bruck
Tanya, so sorry to hear of your grandma's passing. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
