She provided years of unselfish dedication, commitment and love to her special-needs daughter, Pamela. Her gentle spirit and sweet nature was an inspiration to all. Millie exemplified kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and all that is good in this world. It is with love, joy, and peace, that she will be remembered.
