To one of the finest ladies we have ever known. We went to church with Mildred many years ago at Township. Each Sunday my husband would stand at the door and wait for Mildred to come up those steps just so he could welcome her, hold the door open for her, but most of all to make sure she didn’t fall down the steps. We had visited Mildred many times in her home, when she had her dog that she thought so very much of. Even tho we had drifted apart we never forgot her and her kindness. Mike and Bill she talked about you often and she loved you both very much and to Debbie, we still have the wonderful recipe for spiced pecans that you had made and Mildred so graciously shared with me long ago. Our condolences go out to all of Mildred’s family. Our prayers will be with each of you in the days ahead. Mary and Dennis Isaac
What an incredible lady, she will be missed. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you during your time of sorrow.
