Aunt Mil,
I am sitting in our alma mater watching family and friends sharing stories about you with Paul, Mark, Julie, and Connie, and saying goodbye to you. I can hear you saying, "Tot, what do you think about all this stuff? I don't need such a fuss, but it's nice for people to come together." You liked when the fuss was about you.
We had many adventures together the last few decades. You had me make a sign for "Big Bales For Sale," and you laughed at me while I climbed on a big bale to place the sign with the help of my assistant Spott dog.
We enjoyed people wondering if we were related or not. We never told that we weren't, but we were family.
I love that you never called me by my first name. I saved, and have recently listened to, a voicemail from you. "Tot, this is Aunt Mil. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday."
I sent you my grades at each semester's end. I made sure to always do well so Aunt Mil knew I was studying hard. You kept me in line; well, most of the time.
I am grateful we were in each other's lives. We shared sarcastic senses of humor and the ability to insult without the person knowing. I am glad we were able to spend time together toward your end.
You were a strong, loving woman. I love you, Aunt Mil. I will miss you terribly. ❤️
This world gained such a sweet soul.
Blessings for family a.s friends
Remember playing Bridge with Millie and Aunt Angela Burst in Houston, Texas for Aunt Angela's 100 birthday. Mil loved her Bridge and our sympathy goes out to the Haverkos Family.

Millie always had a kind smile to give to everyone. She taught me how to play Bridge & was very patient.
She will be truly missed.
The family has our sympathy,

Aunt Mil with respect taught me countless life lessons. How to bake cupcakes with what ever color icing I wanted. A love of horses. She even allowed me to pick out a horse and keep it on the farm. Remember Nancy and Topper?
Killing chickens and gutting them. Started my interest in biology. How to drive a tractor-I think I was 10.
The last lesson she taught me was how to care for an aging mother with love and respect.
I loved being with her because you were never a kid to Mil. You were a unique person.
Mil was smart with a quick wit and great sense of humor.
How could you not miss Mil
I am sad with Mildred's passing. It won't be the same to not have my neighbor around the corner to stop by and visit when I'm home.
