Our Deep Sympathy is extended to the family of Aunt Milly...She was an inspiration to all of us. I'm sure she will be loved and remembered by Church members,neighbors, and friends of her retirement community.I'm so glad I got to visit with her last summer and take pictures. She sent us 2 cards this past Christmas, bless her soul. We will miss her and treasure our memories.
