Our heartfelt sympathy to your family at this time of loss of your mother. I have such warm memories of growing up neighbors and Richland #4 School. I remember making paper dolls and playing for hours. May warm memories always console you. Mary(Cline) Doyle

So sorry to see that Mildred passed away, my kids and I lived behind Mildred from 1991- 2000. We loved her like family. She was like a Grandma to my Daughter Brittany. She is truly missed. I am sooo glad I was able to see her in 2014 when I was visiting in Cedar Rapids. She was the sweetest woman. May you all keep the memories for ever in your heart!
