Diane and the rest of the Kohler family. Pam and I were saddened to hear of Millie’s passing, yet we remember with warm smiles and outright laughter the years were spent as her neighbor. She was someone that we never got tired of seeing or sharing a beer with. Of all the memories we have of Winsted, she’s one of our favorites. We only regret we did not see her often enough after we moved to Indianapolis. May your find comfort in the knowledge that your Mom was a friend to many and will be sorely missed. God bless you, Pam and Ron Rolf
I know all too well your pain and loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
May God bless you all.
My deepest sympathies go out to Millie’s family. Gene and Millie were our closest neighbors while I was growing up in Howard Lake. So many memories of wonderful people. I’ll always remember their blind dog and the cat that climbed the light pole. They always welcomed us Brose kids with smiles and warm friendship. It’s comforting knowing that Gene and Millie are now together in the Lord’s home. May they rest in peace.
