Ronnie and Roseann,I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom had such a great sense of humor. Her and my mom spent many, many great times together. It's good to know my mom has her good friend with her in heaven. I am sure there are a lot of giggles going on up there.Marianne Heinen - Greenwald

I happened upon these Bible verses while in the hospital during Jim's terminal illness, these words reminded me of Millie's strength and endurance; from Ezekiel 19:1-3, 5-6 What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs, She brought up one of her cubs and he became a strong lion. She took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.... in these words I envisioned Reuben, Millie, Gary and Jim... God's Peace 🙏😇 Beverly Weber 💙
