Dear Judy & Family, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I certainly can relate to what you are feeling right now. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all. Love, Donna
Rest in Peace Mildred. We always had good visits when I came up to the Manor. Lots of the time we talked about the good old days and how her life was in that era. She always called me a kid and gave good words of advice. I gave her a ride in a carriage with my mules when she was the Queen of the Lebanon celebration and that was a highlight in her life.
May the family and friends of Mildred be comforted by the promise that God " will swallow up death forever, and will wipe the tears from all faces.." (Isaiah 25:8) What a wonderful time to look forward to when we’ll never have to experience losing those dear to us in death ever again!
