Condolences to the Family

March 07, 2022

My condolences to the entire family, sweet Millie was such a precious soul that carried so much of God’s joy in her person. This world would be heavenly if just 10 percent of the all God’s children would be like her. Her loving light will be missed. It’s my prayer that all the lives she has touched by her presence become as bright as her love for Christ and all mankind.
