Millie was one of my favorite aunts. But we didn’t see her very much after she moved out to Washington. She was a quiet person but loved to visit. We will certainly miss her. May she rest in the eternal peace.
Millie was such a great person. I lived at her house after college when I worked at my first job in Minneapolis. We enjoyed many good conversations and made me feel so at home. I also remember as a kid my parents and I would come to Brooklyn Center to visit and it was so much fun. She always kept her house so tidy and neat. I will miss receiving a Christmas card and note from her. She was one of my favorite aunts. Thoughts and prayers to all of you!!
Dear Millie you will be missed very much. By all your family near and far. We have always enjoyed getting her Christmas cards and notes. We are the lucky ones to have known and loved her. Miss you Aunt Mille!
