Millie was my personal attendant for my wedding. What I enjoyed most about her was her ability to not take things too serious. Her bright smile and infectious laugh was so much fun and she got me through that happy but stressful time before the ceremony! Hope you are dancing with the angels. All our love.

We know Millicent Kotek as Millie and for the last 18 years we've lived across the street from her. We can honestly say that we have never seen Millie sad ......it seems like every time we were with her she was very happy and very joyful even dancing to the tune of Lowrider.....Her joyful happy spirit was a blessing that we were honored to share....we will miss her.....forever in our memories....God Bless.

As next door neighbors we often said hi to Millie, on a regular basis she'd be outside working around the house and keeping up the flowers and shrubs. Her smile was contagious, she always seemed to be in a wonderful and happy mood. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
