It has been my greatest pleasure and privilege to get to know and love Mildred in the time I was given. Such an amazing woman whose beauty, generosity, warmth of spirit, and love of life had so brightly shone through that it was impossible not to love her and learn from her. My prayers for peace and comfort are with her family today.
