15 Jul 2023Aunt Mildred is the reason I got to know my Whaley side of the family. When I married, she got me and my Biological Dad back together. I always considered myself Blessed to have 2 Dad’s that I Love so much. When me and my husband got stationed in California, my kids got to know my Aunt Mildred and Uncle Homer. They still think about those times and have nothing but good memories of meeting them and Aunt Naomi. I enjoyed the passion of bowling and bingo because of Aunt Mildred. I miss them Both more than words can say. Love and Prayers to Pat and Family
