I knew Aunt Millie before she became my aunt. She work years with my dad at the Vo-Tech. She was a wonderful person. She will truly be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I have such fond memories of Aunt Millie growing up, she had a calmness about her that was always comforting. She had such a great laugh and a sparkle in her eye that was so vivid. It wasn’t all that long ago ( well maybe longer than I think) that I found out she and Frank were my God Parents. To Patti, Tom, David, Jon and your families, we are truly sorry for your loss. She was and always will be such a great lady. Love to you all

Dear Patti, Tom, David and Jon. You all know how much I loved your mom. 💜From as long as I can remember I couldn’t wait for vacation to spend time with you all. I loved how she truly cared about me and my family. It has been so sad to see her not feeling well. I’m glad I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was an amazing Aunt and friend and I will miss her dearly. 😢
