I was so blessed to have got to know her when we met at Cathedral Baptist Church.
What a sweet lovely lady! So blessed to call her friend.

I have many sweet memories of Aunt Mildred. But one I do have is when she told me she was going to get better so she could go to our family reunion. Little did I know she must have meant the reunion with her family in heaven. Love you with all my heart.
