I’m sorry to hear of Mildred’s passing. As a little girl I used to take dance lessons at Brookside park and was friends with Millie and Mildred made some of my dance costumes. When I think of my childhood she always comes to mind, and when I was older I would take my children trick or treating in the neighborhood and they always wanted to stop by because she gave the “big” candybars. I’m sorry for your loss she was a wonderful woman.
