Millie was a beautiful lady -- inside and out. We met at Candler Wellness Center where Millie faithfully put miles on the treadmill. She would tell me of her driving down to Florida to visit her son...we would share daily tidbits of our lives...and she would bring camelias to the Center to share with all. I will miss our conversations.

We were so very sad to hear of Millie's passing. We have fond memories of Millie attending our wedding in Texas and visiting her in Savannah after we were married. I was amazed by her energy and blessed by her kindness. She was such a lovely person -a true Southern Belle! We will miss her and will keep her family in our prayers.
