Such fond memories of Mildred  and her kindness to us as we were growing up…playing in your back yard, the oreos she shared with us, waiting for the bus at your house and much more. Our love and prayers are with your family!

My condolences to your family. I worked with Millie for several years at OpSec. Loved her laugh! She was a wonderful person that was always upbeat and loving. Heaven gained an angel.
Until we meet again Millie. ♥️😘
