Mildred was my mentor when I "helped" at Salem Baptist Church. She was the treasurer at the church for many years and was a "treasure" when the church purchased a computer and moved into the 20th century. We would not have been able to accomplish the transition without her help!
What a great and giving lady!

We are sorry for your loss. Jehovah God provides us loving scriptures during these times. The hope found at John 5:28-29 and Revelation 21:3-4 help as we know we will see our loved ones again.
Mildred was a one-in-a-million lady. She was a great inspiration to me at Rivendell and I could not have done my work without her. She will be greatly missed.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at John 5:28,29 "(28).Do not be amazed
at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the
memorial tombs will hear his voice (29). and come out,
