My sincere sympathy to the family. It is a blessing Mildred lived a long life because there are many people who may never see her age. I know she will forever live on in the hearts of all that she has touched. May Almighty God who provide comfort to us (2 Cor 1:3) be with you during this difficult time of your life.

Currently I am sitting on mom's back porch meditating, and watching a little mother bird nourish her six babies. She is diligently feeding her flock and cleaning the nest that the babies reside in. She is constantly chirping to her babies, as if giving them life's instructions for their wellbeing. Relentless, this mother bird goes about her daily routine, compassionately giving all the love she can. 
 
The love I am observing from this little bird reminds me of my mother's love for all of her flock.  My mom was a wonderful blessing from God.  She loved the beauty of nature.

I'm proud to be related to such a cool human being, knowing you was a huge treat ~

Mildred you were my 2nd mother:Their will always be a special place in my heart for you Love always Carl Rochelle

My memories of all the good times spent with Aunt Mildred and family growing up are some of the most heart warming ever. She always seemed to make everything brighter and more loving. I'm sure she will do the same in heaven.

I feel so blessed to have known and experienced the love of Mildred/Mom/Granny in my life.  It is a joy to be included in the family that she created in this world.  Her large, loving family is her legacy. . .Granny is now "dancing with the heavenly stars!"

Tommy, all of my memories of your mom make me smile. She was so precious and made everyone feel special.
