Sonny,Van, Adam, Eric,
It is with sincere sadness to learn of my good friends passing. Mildred was a strong, smart woman and knew how to manage a tremendous amount of business. No matter what she was involved in - she always did her best, above and beyond. I will miss her greatly, she was a good friend and mentor to me. She loved her grand babies, Adam and Eric and was so proud of her son Van Neal. Sonny and Mildred were an inspiration because of the loving relationship and respect they had for each other. What a Blessing to have lived for 89 years and a Blessing for all who knew Mildred. Sonny and Van; our prayers are with you in the days ahead. Rosemary and Rocko

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Mildred, a wonderful wife, mother and Nana.
She held many jobs in her life, at home and in the community and excelled at each one. But the one she was the best at was being Nana to Adam & Eric !
She is one person who definitely did things her way and I admired her for that.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
