Mildred was a sweet woman that was incapable of having a mean thought toward another person. She was loving and caring and a dear friend. I will miss her a great deal.
Lowell & Susie, May the Lord’s presence be your strength during these days. His love will comfort your hearts. Mildred was a beautiful, sweet christian lady. We loved her dearly from the first time we met. Her smiling face shared the joy of the Lord that was in her heart. She will be greatly missed,but soon we will be united for eternity. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Joan, Larry, Janet, Ida Lee, & Boyd
It was truly touching to see all the people that came to honor the memory of Mildred.
I was so glad when Mildred married my father, Lowell. She was such a beautiful, caring, christian woman. I came to love her so much and because she & my Dad were so wonderful together & because she never had children of her own, I ask her one day if I could start calling her Mom. She happily replied…Why YES honey! My Dad & I wish we could’ve spent more years with Mom but we knew it was her time to go home to be with our Lord.
Thank you so much to everyone for your prayers, caring words of encouragement and wonderful stories & memories your shared. Your continued prayers for my Dad is greatly appreciated.
We will truly miss you Mom but we will be with you again one day. May God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Susie
