RIP millie. Will always remember that smile, it's eternal. But more than that mum's going to miss you, she said you were one of the last remaining that were not only family but that she grew with.

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to all the family. Each and every one of you are in our prayers.
Auntie Millie, it naturally rolls off the tongue, initiates a smile, then a tear, then a smile again. We start to recall the memories as small children and then as an adults and we shed a tear again but we always, always end up smiling. Laughter then fills the room . Auntie Millie you filled our hearts with joy and will truly be missed.
With Love always Auntie Millie. Rest in Peace

It is with a heart of sadness that I say good bye to my dear cousin Millie.We were always close from our childwood,and Even though we seperated in our early years our love and care for each other remain in tact,the distance across the ocean has not seperated us we were always in touch with each other,we were not only known to each other as cousins but we were friends,Even in the Time of her sickness she would call to Check up on me and we could share Life journey together,she was an encouranger, I miss you cous.Millie possessed an infectious personality that brings laughter to the saddest person. Whenever we talk at the end of our conversation she would ask‘Where is my Friend?meaning my husband, if he’s not around she would say to me give him a big hug and kiss and tell him I send for him,she was indeed special. The separation by death in this life is the hardest thing thing to accept,we can only embrace the fact according to the Scripture that those who live for Jesus Christ in this life will some day at his return will return from death to live in eternity with Jesus at such time if we we who are alive and is living for him will be joined with my Cousin to meet our lord. So rest in peace Cous, until we meet again. Love you and miss you dearly. Your Cousin G.
