After the shock of hearing about Millie and the sadness set in, we reflect on Millie and all the times she brought a smile to our faces. Millie's life will truly be celebrated on Friday. She touched and served so many people during her days here on earth. I loved to hear her laugh and always enjoyed her stories. I imagine Millie is smiling down on all of us now. The Cunningham's are part of a bigger family. Remember, you're not alone, and you're being lifted up in prayer. Love to you all.

I am so sorry to hear about Millie - such a wonderful person, strong in faith and a delightful friend. Our Bible study group has many memories of Millie - she will be missed, but in her own words, she will "fly over" us as we mourn her loss. We know she has peacefully entered an eternal life with Christ. God bless you - Millie was very proud of her loving family.
