I am very sorry. My mother was a long time friend of Millicent. (Betty Thayer). I just found out today of her passing, did not know she had been ill. My mother is frail & confused at times and had fallen 3 weeks ago and she thought she was at Millicent's house waiting for her. My prayers are with you.
