  1. Deepest sympathy for your loss. She was a wonderful lady. Her & Don forever have a special place in our hearts.

  2. Crosslake, Mn I am saddened to hear of the loss of our dear friend, Millie. We are struggling withour own mother as she recently broke her shoulder. We had talked about Mildred and would hope that she could survive. But our trust in Jesus has led us to the throne. Praise Him for giving us a truly worthy life. PS: She did teach some of us boys how to dance at Bohnsack. I was one of those fortuanate souls. Love, Curt
