Remembering the good times I spent at Mildred's house when I was a kid growing up in Longton. She was always very kind to Donna's friends, allowed us many slumber parties there. What patience she must have had to put up with us. May God comfort you and your family. It is so hard to give up our mothers, no matter how long they have lived.

No mere words can express the sorrow that we feel about this, except taking the consolation of seeing her again one glorious day in heaven, and what a glorious day that will be. Once years ago she whispered in my Johnny's ear " you should marry that girl" and the rest is history....she was a wise woman and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. I am glad for the time God gave me with her. Rely on Him for all your comfort......Dianna Warnock

Mildred visited at the home of her daughter, Donna, which is where I got to know her. The three of us laughed and cooked together many times. She gave real meaning to "down to earth" with sage advice and a realistic outlook on life. She taught everyone the importance of family and will be very much missed.
