Goodness where would I begin, she was my everything, Millie and I got our dinner’s together every Tuesday, she loved Bingo and Bunco. She was my garden club buddy In her final days she reminisced about her childhood days, living on Wellesley Island and talked forever about her son Wayne. She was never frowning and always had a smile on her face. She had a kind word for everyone. I can’t tell you how much she is missed already, my friend Dolores and I were both with her when she passed. We said our good-byes to a life well lived as her son put it. Till we meet again Millie. Forever in our hearts. We love you…
Thank you, Linda. Mom had high regard for you and Dick.
Dear Wayne, sending my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your mom. I always enjoyed hearing the stories you shared in the kitchen at work. I know she will be missed. With condolences from your former coworker and friend, Jill
Thanks, Jill. I’m still getting used to the idea of not keeping her current on everything.
So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My deepest sympathies and thoughts go out to you and your mom.
Matt
Thank you, Matt. Mom was always interested in hearing about my friends at work.
Your mother was one of the first people I met at Spruce Creek. She was so very special to me. And she was so very proud of you. Can’t tell you the times she shared your successes with us. Us being the Bingo group. I am sure that she shared those with other groups. She was a very special lady.
Thank you, Ruth. Mom was a good person to meet early on; she was always warm and welcoming.
We want to pay our final respects to your Mom. Millie was one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met. She will be greatly missed here at Spruce Creek G & C C. RIP Millie
Thank you, Jim and Elaine. I always heard fine things about Mom’s dear friends at Spruce Creek.
We are so sorry to learn of Millie’s passing. We really enjoyed the Strauss family while all the “kids” were in their teen-age years. We were able to visit Millie just once in Florida. Millie was always a gracious and pleasant lady. We wish Wayne peace and strength in remembering his fine parents.
Thanks so much. We boys certainly had our share of fun – and Mom loved having Jim at the River.
Wayne – So many stories, over the years, about you and your mother. I feel like I knew her well myself. And yet, we never met.
Cheers to her. Sounds to me like a life well lived.
And cheers to you. I know it feels awful now, but always remember the bvest of what she had she gave to you.

Thanks, Digby. You certainly did hear plenty of “Mom stories”; she had a truly good run.
Hi Wayne
We’re very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Our deepest sympathies to you. I remember her from our scouting days and at Messiah Church. Bruce Holroyd
Thanks very much, Bruce. Mom was always so proud of our Scouting accomplishments; as am I.
Our deepest condolences Wayne. So many memories going way back to the 1960’s! I can recall your home in Greece and also visiting Wellesley Island – your Mom always so fashionably dressed and smiling! Her strength during your father’s passing. And it was such a pleasant and meaningful surprise to see her walk in with you to my Mom’s memorial service in 2016 having traveled all the way from Florida in her late eighties! She was a very special lady.
Thank you so much. My parents and yours were a great example of relatives who were also friends.
Wayne – so sorry to learn of your moms passing. The loss of a loved one is never easy. Thinking of you with heartfelt sympathy and wishing you comfort, peace and memories of joy during this difficult time. Remembering all of the good time with family in Bushnell’s Basin.
Thank you, Janet. Mom and Dad always loved going out to visit Herb and Dorothy and the Bushnell’s Basin crew.
Thank you, Alice. Mom always enjoyed chatting with you through email.
Dear Wayne:
So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Your Mom and I just reconnected over email this last spring when my Mother passed. Your Mom told me much about her early life in those emails and it only made me admire her more. Your Mom was quite a lady and she will be missed by more people than you know. I wish you well and hope that you will find peace and comfort.
Thank you, Eileen. Mom truly cherished her long-time friends from Messiah.
Our deepest condolences. Millie will be greatly missed. We all enjoyed her stories especially since we were also from Western NY. Playing Euchre and Bingo here in Del Webb will not be the same. Prayers to all at this difficult time. Pete & Kathy Murphy
Thank you, Pete and Kathy. Mom greatly enjoyed playing Bingo and Euchre with her friends.
Our condolences Wayne. I always enjoyed time around your Mom and Dad. The times spent after school and in Scouting.
Thank you for coming yesterday, Gary. We certainly had great experiences, and Mom was very fond of you and the whole Kaiser family.
Wayne,
I was sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. She almost always had a smile on her face. Your mom and dad always were kind to me when I saw them at Troop 118 events. I wish you peace and comfort.
Thanks so much, John. Mom always enjoyed activities with you and our troop.
