Millie was the Matriarch of our family. Caring Mother and Grandmother. We will miss her sense of humor and her point of view. She let us know what she thought. Her three Strobel men would be greeting her when she passes. Rest in peace Millie you earned it. Love Tom and Caleen and Family.
I am gonna miss her so much she was my snuggle buddy I could go lay in bed with her and she would rub my head and we would talk she gave the best snuggles and even up to her last days she was still my snuggle buddy and she had the best sense of humor definitely not going to be the same without her I am so glad I had the honor of knowing her and being able to take care of her and be with her.
