Millie was one of the most kindest ladies that I have had the honor of knowing. She was a caring and lovely person. Know that she is in a better place with the Lord and sick free. She is playing the piano for the angels and the Lord. I’am blessed that I was able to know her for the time I had with her. Ron,Laurie,Trisha,Tim, and Chad I’m so very sorry for your loss. But she will be with you all forever. Your family is in my prayers at this difficult time. With much love. Cindy Morgan

When I joined Westminster Church twenty years ago, Millie and Lee made me feel so welcome! They immediately roped me into the greeter/usher team, and they were always such kind people. I used to love getting a big perfumery hug from Millie whenever I saw her. They were such a big part of our church family. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Kate Fletcher
