She would let you know how she felt whether you agreed with her or not! Auntie had the most infectious laugh that would fill a room! If she laughed it would make you laugh. That laugh will echo in our ears forever. Auntie was a source of wisdom. If aunt Mildred told you about yourself, she did it out of love! Her legacy is indelible in our hearts and her kindness will be remembered by all.
