my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. i remember mrs. webb (never would even think to call her anything else) not only helping me in the library, but also following me and my best friend, debbie zoltanski, around after we “helped” clean in the church. i think she knew, but never said anything to us about lighting all the candles….

many happy times and special moments were shared with mildred. she had wonderful stories about growing up and all the sisters and two brothers she had. mildred talked about her son gary so much and the times they spent cooking and baking, ( no wonder he is such a good cook).
she also talked about her daughter-in-law sue and the time that they spent together, whether it was folding laundry,going to dr. appt’s or going down to see old friends where she used to live. she was very proud of her grand-children sheila and jeff and had numerous stories about them. there were stories about st. joseph parish members who were also very important to her. i will always hold a special place in my heart for her.
i will miss you girlfriend.
with love, corrine
