I will truly miss my Dear Friend. I was so blessed to have had you in my life, but my heart is at peace now knowing that you are no longer in pain. You have well earned your heavenly wings and we all are so fortunate to have such a Special Angel to watch over us. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with your family that God will ease their pain. I know how much you loved your children and their love for you was so evident as they said their final goodbye to a Mother that will be truly missed. All of your loved ones have so many wonderful memories that will bring smiles in time of sadness. When someone you love becomes a memory...treasure the memory. We will cherish you always Millie and as always... our last words to each other were... I Love You.
