Dear Karyn, Linda and family: We were so very sad for all of you to hear of Aunt Millie’s passing. We didn’t know her, but we met her last year at Queens General. Every time we walked by her room she would catch our eye and we would go in for a chat… making her a cup of tea and sharing our peanut butter cookies… which we are quite sure she was not allowed to have… she said she loved them and we would always leave her extra. She was an extremely beautiful woman with a wonderful smile… we bet she was a whirlwind in her hay day ! Now that she is with God, I am sure all those that went before her welcomed her with open arms. You are all so blessed to have had her in your life, loving you and teaching you many valuable things along the way. Please know you are all in our hearts, thoughts and prayers today and in the days ahead. With love and deepest sympathy, Gail and Dave xoxo
