I got a call last week from my dad's brother Chester. When I said hello he said "My sweet girl's going home." She passed away on Thursday evening shortly after his call. My Aunt Mildred was a special friend and I will miss the wonderful letters she wrote me at Christmas time. She had a wonderful voice in her writing and gave descriptive details of everything she talked about. We have corresponded for over 30 years and according to her she enjoyed my letters to her as much as I enjoyed her letters to me. Aunt Mildred was an avid bird watcher which is something many of my children love doing as well. I remember when I was a little girl she had a beautiful cocker spaniel named Taffy and a parakeet. I don't remember it's name but she loved that bird and talked to him all the time. He would sit on her finger and talk back to her. My Aunt Mildred belonged to the Red Hat Club and was an avid bowler. She was such a nice person I will miss her!
