Millie and I have shared good times and bad since we were in 5th grade. The last time I spoke with her she was just out of the hospital - again - and Andrea had been there to see her settled back in her home in Woodlands. When she didn't return my more recent calls, I called Woodlands security and found out about her death. Because of the years of sharing with her, my first thought was "I must call Millie and tell her." Millie had such a good, loving, generous spirit. Her death leaves a very large empty spot in my heart. Her family has lost its anchor. My deepest sympathy to all who loved her.

Mrs. Christenson was the best teacher a child could get. She was always kind and helpful, and knew when to be strict when it was necessary. My thoughts and prayers are with her family right now. I am deeply saddened by this loss as well. I had not seen Millie or her family at Gino's for quite some time and often wondered if they would come in so we could catch up again. She was a wonderful woman and I will never forget her smile. I've always said she was my favorite teacher. Thinking of you...Jennifer Stoker

Marti, David, Andrea & Cris---my sincerest sympathies to you all. Your mom was exceptional and such a generous human being. I will recall for the rest of my life our many Sunday evenings watching the Wonderful World of Disney while munching on one of your mom's fabulous desserts. Great memories. Your mom was a terrific friend to my mom and I stand with her in saying how much we will miss Millie. Thinking of you.
