Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you all in the loss of your beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and to all in your dear family.



I remember Milli well from the days at ST. Timothy's Church, where together, we were members of the Women's Club in the 1970's as well as team members of the Liturgy Group that met each Wednesday morning in our homes. We were all busy,young Mom's who brought our little ones along to those meetings; we were so eager to be part of the Sunday liturgy preparation, picking out the songs and prayers, decorating the front of the altar area as well as even sewing the vestments for the priest one year.



All of us thrived on the new learning that Fr. Peter Bowman provided with his many books he lent us that supplemented our yearning for expanding our faith. Millie was always an enthusiastice part of our group.



I will always remember her beautiful smile, and the wonderful comraderie we shared together. She will be forever in our hearts and prayers.



Just know that she is now resting in the peace and joy of our Lord Jesus. We pray that our heavenly Father will surround you with His love and comfort during this difficult time.



May peace and joy return to your lives again one day knowing that you will be reunited with her and your dear father in the kingdom of our heavenly Father where there will be no more parting.



Love and prayers for you all,

Marianne & Heinz Windhauser
