Our thoughts are with you Ruth, Betty and family.
I have fond memories of Aunt Mil when I visited grandma Gilmore in Arthur with my sister, Pat and parents. Often all three sisters were there at the same time – Aunt Mil, Aunt Myrtle and Mom.
Deep condolences,
Hazel and John Madill

To Ruth and Betty and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Mill’s passing. I fondly remember as a child spending a summer with your family on your farm. Aunt Mill was always so kind and generous.

I was very sad to learn about Aunt Mill’s passing. I am so grateful to have had the moments talking with Aunt Mill and for her to meeting my partner.
My condolences to the family, I will miss Aunt Mill very much.
Thank-you Betty for calling me I look forward to seeing family I have not seen in many years. I know Aunt Mill spoke fondly of all her family. I’ll treasure our talks.

Dear Millie;
Dropped in Saturday morning with flowers for you and found out you had gotten the calling from God. I was so sad. We have only known each other a short time but I will never forget you. You were a lovely person and I am so glad we got to meet. Thanks for the prayers for my mom and the hug from you. We will miss you at the table at the Avalon. I will always think of you. Sorry you are departing so quickly, I would have loved to say goodbye. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
