| Tonight we honored Mildred with a reception at the church building. To show her many, many talents we displayed some of her precious pieces of art, china, blankets, pressed flower cards, picture boards, sang and, of course, served pie! We extend a very gracious thank you to all those who brought pie, flowers/plants, worked in the kitchen, sang songs and supported the family with your presence.
 
Her most prized possession is on the table above: her Bible. She was diligent to read it every day!
