Sam, Judy, Shirley, Bob & Families: I was sorry to hear of your Mother's passing but please take comfort in the fullness of her life and the countless people that she helped along the way. Certainly I am one of them. Aunt Mildred was all about education and bettering one's life as demonstrated by her own actions and the encouragement that she passed along to each of you and others such as myself. She engrained in me the principle of making the most of life's opportunities. I could never have achieved the standard of living that I enjoy today if not for Aunt Mildred's advice and guidance. I'm certain that there are dozens of her former students out there who would readily concur. Due to previous commitments we will be unable to attend visitation today or this evening but hope to see you all tomorrow. Lloyd

Harold has fond memories of your mom as his teacher and I was comforted by her presence during my first interview for teaching. She was loved and respected by everyone in the teaching profession. Our thoughts are with you.

Judy, Shirley, Bob and Sam I will always remember the visits by your family to our farm in Belleisle when we were all kids. I also remember being at her home where she taught me to make apple pies. But the best memories I have of your Mom are as an adult when we both were school trustees. We were on a provinical trustee committee and I remember how happy we both were to remeet after all those years. Your Mom was a smart lady, a great teacher, gracious and caring. Her efforts were always for the students and what would assist them in becoming contributing adults. May you have wonderful memories to ease your loss. Love to all, Chris
