Sending our prayers and thoughts your way. Millie was a great person and aunt. I always enjoyed playing cards with her and Lou when they were at mom’s house and I was in town! I also remember the times that Millie, Lou and Galen would take care of me during the summer storms when I was scared at home on the farm! Hold on to those wonderful memories you all have.
