Mom was a very special lady, who was a loving wife to two wonderful men. She will always be in a special room in my heart. I will miss her so much.
Millie was a wonderful lady, almost a second mon to me. Spent lots of time growing up with her. God bless, may she rest in peace Colleen
Hello Dennis Family, I’m writing to let you know that we have been trying for a couple weeks to identify the Seligman family. Our 25 year old daughter, Sarah Knight, passed away very unexpectedly on Monday, September 26. We had many, many floral arrangements and one had a card that read “The Seligman Family.” We were not able to identify the sender and just yesterday noticed the name Millie Dennis on the back of the card. It dawned on me that perhaps the mum has got to the wrong service. I went to the Gazette on-line and found the name in the obituary history. I apologize that I didn’t figure this out earlier. We have been in a state of shock these last three weeks and are just getting back to living again. I wanted you to know so you could acknowledge the plant. We planted all the mums in our yard in remembrance of Sarah but would certainly replace it if you would like. Thank you for understanding. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Millie was a special lady! Susan Knight
