The first time I met Millie was like she had known me forever. I had just married her brother, Don aka “Brother” to her and Maxi. She fix a wonderful dinner for all of us. Which included homemade noodles. She then taught me how to make them. I don’t think she ever met a stranger. I’m glad I had a chance to meet her. She and Hack raised a wonderful family. You all are in my prayers as you learn this new walk. Eventually we’ll all be home together and how great that will be.
I write this with such a heavy heart. I have so many memories of my Aunt Millie. Growing up I kind of felt she was like my second "mom" Remembering as a small boy, riding the train with her to Oklahoma were just priceless times. Such fun. Unfortunately, Life changes, we all grow up, get older, go our separate ways, but it was always a joy to visit with Aunt Millie. Always had a smile and a kind word to say to anybody. As our human
frailties direct our sorrow I sincerely believe that God was ready for Aunt Millie to travel her next journey thru heaven's gates. To the rest of the family, Uncle Hack and all you cousins, thanks for sharing your mom while she was with us. Fly High Aunt Millie. We
all love you.
