Mildred wished to leave these thoughts with her loved ones:
"To my family and many friends:
I have used up all the time God has given me to spend. I am reluctant to leave the familiar, but I know I go to a place far better that is prepared just for me.
If I have given laughter, love, assistance, and friendship, I am happy. To those I have caused hurt, sorrow or pain, please forgive me.
Remember me in kindness. In my memory, do an act of charity.
Good bye and God bless you."
