October 10, 2021 at 5:44 pmI am so sorry that I was not aware of this in time to attend the service. Jim and Mildred were dear friends of mine when we all attended Elliston Baptist Church. I always enjoyed sharing the men”s fishing trip back then. Jim and Mildred were and always will be great Christian examples. I know that Mildred is now with our Lord in Heaven. My God bless and give peace to the family.

October 4, 2021 at 3:03 pmMildred, you will be greatly missed. You are my Daddy’s last family. His only Sister, actually only sibling. My husband & I would love to be there for you & your family. We are older in age too, & due to health reasons, we aren’t able to make it. I’ve prayed so much for you since you’ve been sick. Jesus needed another Angel & He chose you. You had a major impact on your students that you loved so much. Rest In Peace beautiful lady. You can rejoice in Heaven with your Mom & Dad & Brother & many others. God Bless you. Love,,,, Norma Kaye
