Aunt Mildred was always so put together and thoughtful—never a hair out of place. Her home was always tidy and in perfect order, just like she was. She had a warm, bright smile and kind eyes that seemed to smile along with her. She had a strong personality and was never afraid to speak her mind, always expressing herself honestly and directly.

I remember that she would come to Grandma Campbell’s house when we celebrated my birthday there. She always brought me a card and occasionally a very thoughtful gift. I also received a card from her in the mail for every holiday, a tradition that meant so much to me.

Aunt Millie loved to travel. I now have her jade pearls, and I take them with me on most trips and wear them in memory of her.

Mark also reminded me of a time just a few years ago when Aunt Millie was talking about growing up and having chickens just before World War II. Then she turned to me and said, “You remember that, don’t you, Terry?” I had to remind her that I hadn’t been born yet. We all had a good laugh after that.

One memory of Aunt Mildred that stands out is when she invited me to her condo to show me a dress she wanted to order for me to wear to Charlotte’s bridal shower. It was a pretty purple dress with white polka dots. I still have that purple dress with white polka dots, and I’ll always remember her and that sweet gesture.

I will always miss you, Aunt Millie.
