Happy Mother's Day! f.

Of all the extended Bemis/Smith family, Mil was the only one that I really felt comfortable and happy with (except Norwood, of course). We were so seldom together, just a few weeks and months, here and there, when she and I were both in Prescott at the same time. We all expect things to continue. She and I had a great phone conversation when I was at Bod's for Duke's funerals. Somehow, I was always going to "get back" to Mil. Well, that didn't happen and I am very, very sad. Kids, keep in mind that it all always ends!. Not only with death; but with people moving; getting new interests, jobs, or spouses; changing churches, life styles, or passions. Fully enjoy, appreciate, and develop what you have now. It won't be here tomorrow.

Thank YOU Frank . Im glad I have you. Your an awesome brother!

I love you Mae. Always have Always will!! Thank You for being there for Mom. f.

It has been one very bumpy traveled road , our journey as mom and daughter together, but it sure was a hell of a ride..you were definately one of a kind thats for sure..thanks for choosing to give me life..you were the first person i loved. that wasnt always an easy thing to do thru the years and its because of you i learned the definition of unconditional..i believe that is one of most valuable things ive learned in this life...i will miss our morning chats with coffee. i will not miss going to walmart with you though and hearing you holler maaaaeeeeeeeee all the way across the store as loud as you could..actually , i will. ha ha.. go rest in peace Mom..i love you, always have, always will, no matter what. Mae

Well Mom, You finally made it to the next adventure. It was GREAT visiting a couple of weeks ago. Just our luck that it was the !st of April. (LOL) It would be easy to say . "Your in a better place", but I guess in your own way you'll let me know. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but we ALWAYS laughed. Your son and more importantly, Your Friend.!! LOVE ALWAYS frank

Dear John and Mil's family, Growing up, I loved to go to Prescott and visit all my "big" cousins! Mil was fun and funny, and never made me feel like I was "just a little kid". Sorry I didn't get to see her (or most of you) in recent years, but I cherish my memories of Mil and the whole Bemis clan. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Maribeth

Dear John and all Mil's family, We are so sad to hear we have lost another wonderful cousin. I have so many grand memories of times in Prescott with all the Bemis cousins. When I talked to her not long ago by phone, she sounded like the same upbeat, joking Mil I remember. We should all be as brave in facing what she saw in her near future. We love you. Ann

At a particularly 'down' point in my life, my cousin Mil had some particularly poignant things to say to me. Those words will remain as private as they were when she said them but I've never forgotten. Rest, dear cousin.

You were my dearest girl cousin. I had a "crush" on you all through my teens. As your dad used to say "We need to tell each other that we love each other every time we talk. We don't know if we'll have another chance." If I haven't in the past, I'm tellin' you now . I love you and will miss you, dearly. Nord

We were so sorry to learn of Mil's death. We both have fond memories of our school days with her and in later years renewing the friendship. In sincere sympathy, Jim & Barbara Erskine

Our love to all the family. Please come see us. Jim and Maydra
