We send our love to you all. Millie was such a strong compassionate person taking such great care of her family, especially our mom and father during their final years. I remember her helping plant the garden in the spring, helping Jack build their house, picking me up at college, babysitting, cooking all those delicious meals, and so many other things. She probably changed a few of my diapers. Be strong and safe, Ronnie and Linda
