Heaven received another loving soul.  Millie was a mother first!  Her family was her life, joy and happiness. When she was not tending to her family, she was caring for all the animals that lived in her yard.  Though Alzheimer’s Disease affected her life, she was tenderly cared for in her home.  A special thank you to her long-time caregiver, Marian whose extraordinary care was a blessing to our family.   She left this world holding hands with her loving husband, Tom.
