Mildred will always be remembered as a Woman with a heart of gold and a spine of steel.... She is the kind of woman that every little girl should strive to be. It was a gift to know her and a treasure that my children got to know her and be loved by her.

Dear Patti, Steve and families,
I was so sorry to read of Mildred's passing. What a wonderful neighbor for all those years. Patti, you were one of my favorites in school. Steve, you're a grandfather??? How time flies!!!
