A loss of a loved one is sometimes hard to acknowledge. To know that you just saw them or talked to them; how could they not still remain close to you. Know that they still can hear your voice and be seen in your memories. Their essence remains forever with you.
A contribution to Second Harvest has been made in Millie's name.

Dear Loud Family,
My deepest sympathies on the lost of your love one. Ken and Diane - I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to you at this time of grief and sadness. The character and strength that the two of you have is a testiment to Millie's important role in your life. Comfort each other and be there for each other. I personally know that the loss of parent is so sad. Together, families and friends support each other and that is so important. Please take care.
With Love and Sympathies,
Rob Blomquist
