  1. I am truly sorry for the world’s loss of an incredibly wonderful lady. I will miss seeing her smiling face everyday and her wonderful attitude of life. She will be truly missed at the Baptist Home.

  2. This ‘signing of the guestbook’ comes long after the service…but I wanted to let Aunt Mildred know how much she meant to me….
    Susan….you know how much I loved her and Uncle Robert…Love you all.
