Dear Char, When I shared with Tom that your mom had passed, he commented that this might be the time to take things slowly and allow yourself the opportunity to embrace your memories of your mother and keep them close. We both send you our deep wish that you will find comfort in knowing your mom lived a full, productive and a life of value. With deep affection for you, Molly
I will be thinking of you all at this sad time.
She was a sweet, sweet lady and I throughly enjoyed singing for her at Cantada for the past several years. She was always smiling and happy to see me. I will miss her.
As we became spouses, parents and active citizens ourselves, Millie was our role model for supporting family and community. She was always an important presence at birthday and holiday gatherings. We will miss her kind heart and generous spirit.
Char,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved mother. My prayers and with you and your family.

Diane, All I can say is that your Mom was amazing, I still can see her doing the Polka every chance she could, on one of the cruises she was doing the Polka with one of the Stewards and everyone stopped to watch, she always had the biggest smile at all times. We are all left with beautiful memories, Rest In Peace my Friend

To the Slezak family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes, we still feel the loss of our loved ones. May you find comfort in God’s promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, sickness, or pain, and we can see our lost loved ones again.
My sincere condolences to Millie and her. Dear family. She was loved by all and will be so dearly missed.
