To Millie's Family: My deepest sympathy to all of you on Millie's passing. She will be greatly missed. I know she is in a better place but she will be missed. I always enjoyed seeing her at the school as well as your dad. They were great people to visit with. They were very caring and would do anything for you. I am sorry I can not be at her service as I am in florida and will be having chemo that week. I plan on being in Michigan after April 1 and hope to see you then. May the Lord comfort you in your loss. Kind Regards Jim and Marge McKinley

To The Family of Millie, We are so sorry to hear about Millie and you have our Deepest and Sincere Sympathy. She was a very nice lady and our children always enjoyed going there on Halloween night for her "special fudge". She will be missed.

Millie was a good friend during our years together at the Vera Wilsie School. I learned early that she was the "power" behind the boss! I have fond memories of working with Millie and with Ken while in my early years of teaching. They both made my work load much lighter and more pleasant. Barry and I send our condolances to Millie's family. She was a bright light for both of us!

These two people were in my early childhood both at school and at church. I always thought a lot of them both. My sympathy to the family. What a sweet gentle lady!

My sympathy to the Brott family. She was quite a lady, always there for so many people. Mya your memories provide comfort to your family. She is always alive in the hearts of those who know her. “Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live.... Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out (John 5:25 & 28)
