How nice to be reminded today. I only have good memories of going to Dr Wool as a child and that is in part to Mrs Wool and how she treated us, like family. Her memory is now a blessing.

So very sorry to hear of Mrs. Wool's passing. Dr. Wool was my Mom's Doctor as a child, and then delivered both my brother John II, and I at Victory. Still remember those wonderful safety suckers! :) Dr. and Mrs. Wool were always there in our best and worst times. Our hearts and prayers are with you all!

I was sorry to hear about Mrs. Wool's passing. My condolences to the Wool family. As a child I was at Dr. Wool's office many, many times and Mrs. Wool was always so accommodating to my mother and me. As I'm writing this, I'm picturing her in the office,answering the phone and getting the files in order. Thanks for the memories.

Aunt Millie was always a favorite aunt of the New Orleans Wool boys and their Mom. Her smile was one of the wonderful things we will always remember. I can picture her laughing at our house as Zachary kneeled next to her while she was standing- and he was still taller than she. May the deep love she had for those she cherished help ease your grief.

My sincere condolences to the Wool family. Dr. Wool was our family physician through all life's little plateaus but I always thought of he and Mrs. Wool as a team. He doctored the body she the spirit...thanks Mrs. Wool for those life savers to ease that queasy pregnancy stomach.

I first met Millie when I was in High School and worked for Millie's parents in the Store on 10th St. and Millie and her husband,and children, Normie and Karla lived above the Store.
Years later as a married Woman, Dr. Wool was my Family Dr. when I lived in the Waukegan area, and Millie ran the Office for him.

Millie was never without a smile, and was one of the sweetest and most loving and caring Lady that I was blessed to know.
Years later when I would return to Waukegan, and be at Glen Flora CC with my dear friend Sen. Geo-Karis, and I would see Millie and her husband there, she would always greet me and was always so happy to see me and find out where life had taken me and my children.
My sympathy to all of the Family.

Millie touched so many lives, and will always be remembered as such a wonderful and special Lady.
