Millie was a wonderful friend to Peggy and me. Her many friends bore evidence of her charming charisma bestowed upon all she met. A wonderful friend! Gordon and Peggy (now deceased) Harman.

No matter how time goes by, Millie will not be forgotten. Having been a member of the "military family" that included Millie and W. D. (and their family) we remember and cherish the memories we made with them. Millie was more than a special person, she was the standard for family, friend, host and loved one. We still miss her as we often mention her in our household. She was that special.

Warren and family,
I worked with Millie at both Pediatric Assoc. and at Assoc. in Internal Medicine. She was always so very kind and was a wonderful nurse. Patients loved her. My thoughts are with you all during this sad time.

This week we mourn the loss of a dear loved one. An inspiration to all who knew her, Millie was such a wonderful, pleasant person. We had not visited Warren and Millie often but when we did, Millie was always as glad to see you as you were to see her and W.D. She was always the same no mater how long it had been since you saw her. A truly gracious and heart-warming person. We will miss her as we would miss a family member.

Words cannot express my smypathy to Warren and family for the loss of a very kind and giving person who was a dear friend to our family. We never understand why such wonderful people are taken from us so soon, making this a more difficult time for all. May the wonderful memories you shared help you through this very difficult time. Millie will never be forgotten but will be dearly missed. Love,
