Millie,
You were wonderful to work with a great friend to have. You will always be my sunshine. I remember when your goal was to make it to 80. You outdid yourself and made it to 87. You always had to give that extra. Will always have fond memories of you. I only knew you for 27 years but will miss you forever. Until we meet again old friend “I love you”.
I am very sorry for the passing of milly,. wE GO WAY BACK ,SHE Was a lovely lady my eggbeater girl lol.
Susan, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Millie,
Even though we haven’t seen one another for a few years, we did speak several times. I will miss you and your smiling face. and hearing you say, “What’s the matter, Honey?” my clue to unload my problems. Some day we will meet again, and Lord I hope there is no government in heaven, cause I don’t want to work there again. Know that you will be missed.
Susie,
I am very sorry for your loss. Be proud. Your Mom IS a Great Lady!.
