So sad to hear of Mrs Haynes passing. Wonderful lady full of fire and life. I am honored to have known her.
I loved my Aunt Mildred dearly. I will miss her everyday. I’m praying for you Michael, Sherry, Brandon and Kristopher. Love you all, Bobbie
She was my sister’s neighbor and best friend and even though I only met her once, it was like I knew her as a friend through my sister’s friendship. She thanked me for sharing my sister with her. She was a very thoughtful and caring person. who will be missed a lot but who was ready for her next step.
Mildred was an amazing lady with a personality larger than life and was my mother’s best friend. She will be sorely missed by me, my husband, Rob and our children and grandchildren, who delighted in her sense of humor. I am sincerely sorry to lose her but feel honored to have known and loved her. Our heartfelt condolences to her beloved family and friends.
