Dear Cliff,
I just want you to know how special your mom was to me personally when we were growing up. If I had to pick a neighborhood favorite, it was her. I always respected her; she was the hardest working woman I ever knew. I loved her until the end. She was a great lady!!! We will all miss her presence.##imported-begin##COLLEEN THIEL RASMUSSEN##imported-end##
We will miss her. We are looking forward to sharing stories with everyone and celebrating her life tomorrow.##imported-begin##Carrie and Dan Morris##imported-end##
I will always love you Grandma, wish I could of seen you just once more and given you one more big hug. I will always save and cherish the $2 bills you sent me, though when I was younger I spent a couple I still have a few left. It's going to be a tradition I'm going to pass on to my grandkids and great grand kids. Until we see eachother again....##imported-begin##Axel Owyen##imported-end##
Millie lived across the alley from our house and was the Field Boss at the raspberry field in Puyallup where I picked berries. We picked, we had berry fights, and we picked some more and had more fights. Of course, Millie reprimanded us. Years later she apologized to me for being "so Mean" for getting on us for the berry fights and taking to long for lunch. I remember telling her we were just normal kids, brats, and she was just doing her job. We all liked her and did not think she was mean at all.
On a more serious note, I remember the many years she took care of her mother. I remember the hospital bed in her living room. I really respected her for that. What compassion and love. I will always have fond memories of Millie. Jinny (Thiel) Hall##imported-begin##Clarence and Virginia Hall##imported-end##

I have known Midred Cook since I was 10 years old. I moved from Wenatchee and met my good friend Lucille at Park Avenue School. Mrs. Cook was almost like a second mother. She was so sweet and loving, and I loved her. She will be missed by many. My prayers are with all the family. God Bless you all. Lorna Sipes.##imported-begin##Lorna McCrary Sipes##imported-end##
I only met Millie once, through Cliff & Joan, and she was introduced to me as "Mom". Whenever I think of her, I'll think of her as Mom. She was one of those people who radiated warmth and I liked her instantly. And what a great sport she was: we gathered the whole family inside the shower stall at Cliff & Joan's new home, with Mom posed sweetly on the edge of the tub, while I snapped a "memory" picture.
You'll be greatly missed by many.##imported-begin##Linda Tuell##imported-end##
