Millie Cookies

I'm so glad that I had a chance to visit Aunt Millie on Monday.  We had a nice little visit and I was able to tell her how much I loved her.  And, although she was in great pain, her thoughts were not about her own pain.  She was concerned about me.  She wanted to know how I was doing and she told me that she would "pray for a miracle" regarding our attempts to start a family.  That was just like Aunt Millie......always giving love....

On Wednesday, September 21, 2011 Millie took her last breath.

My cousin Stewart wrote a beautiful tribute to Aunt Millie.  I hope you will take a moment to read it.

Happy Stitches!

Sorry for your (and your families) loss. My m-i-l passed away this past spring and I recently found some peanut butter balls in the freezer she made for my son her last visit here. Your cousin's cookies in the freezer reminded me of them. We have been having one here and there, thinking of mom! It's never easy, but thank goodness for our memories.
