To Mildred's family, Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss. My mother and dad often spoke of the days when they were ALL much younger and how much Mildred loved coming to Lakeside Ballroom here in Dayton to dance to the Big Bands that appeared here then. Then in later years he (they) always enjoyed seeing your family again at the reunions and one particular time I remember my dad (Paul) having such a good time with the twins.
I also enjoyed knowing that the guys were involved in the "school thing" which I enjoyed all of my working life too.
Mildred was always special to my folks and she was a specil lady to you all I'm sure. I also remember Harold & Mary (& Mary's cherry pies).
I will attempt to be at the services but if I'm not there please know that I'm thinking about you all.
I'm sure that you know that my mother died in May-05 and that your mother and dad will be "neighbors" to my parents at White Oak.
Good thoughts to you all - Dick Robinson

Dear Melissa and family,
