Mildred was extremely proud of her three granddaughters and their personal accomplishments. Gram and her granddaughters shared a mutual and loving relationship. There were many unforgettable times spent with her and Grampa visiting, laughing, camping, playing, cooking, planting and most of all enjoying each other's company.
