Memories & Candles
We gathered on Valentines day to honor a Women who was filled with love
It was with all of us in the church only it was sent down from Heaven above
The hymns that were played and sung and the verses that were spoken
confirmed that so many in attendance came with hearts that were broken
they all remembered this women a Mother a Sister a Grammy
in their minds her laugh they'd hear and smiling face they'd see
I can think of no better way

Millie will always be remembered. I have very fond memories of her Washington Streeet and St James Street. She was always known within the family as "Sis." Her brothers always called he that and even Grammy and Grampa called her that. I even called her Sis when I was young before I learned the meaning of the name. My father once told me that she was his sister not mine. I was disappointed about that. Icanrecall all of the times

Aunt Millie, when I was younger we would come to visit you and Uncle Joe and ofcourse the kids. You always made me feel special. There was a love in the air and it remained with you always. You made others feel welcome as if they were part of your family. Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories you provided me with. I will miss you very much. Love you.

Tribute
If lives are measured by their worth,
Accomplishments, achievements, birth
Then there should also be a place
accorded gifts derived by grace
Gifts of the spirit whose design
Influence those so like inclined.
Beauty is with birth conceived
But strength and wit are gifts received
With work and study and desire
And tests of faith and trials by fire.
There are a few whose lives embrace
Those gifts of birth, those gifts of grace
Whose spirits are so free and wide
They are a generation's pride
Inspiring those to emulate
These qualities that make

Dearest Lafko Family,
Your Mother's radiant smile lit up any room she was in and I always felt happy to be around her. My family was blessed to have loved her from the earliest little league games through a lifetime of Christmases with massive trees that defied gravity and long lists on the refrigerator that defied logic. Your darling Mother at the organ was pure joy to behold and her superb spirit clearly runs through all of her precious children.......Love Janet

Mummy.... there are no words that can ever express how much I will miss you. I have an aching hole in my heart that over time will be filled in with the sweetest memories I have of you, Dad and my entire most wonderful family. These are what will carry me through the most difficult days I have ever known through out my life. You are an ispiration and have been my hero all my life for many many years,

Hello Sis
Well you made it, you are healed, no more pain, just peace with the Father.
PRAYER’S BATTLEGROUND
EACH ONE MUST FIGHT THE BATTLE
AND TASTE ITS AWFUL COST.
IN HIS GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE,
WHERE THE VICTORY’S WON OR LOST.
EACH PERSON FACES CHOICES,
TEMPTATIONS LOST OR WON,
UNTIL AT LAST HE VOICES,
“OH LORD, THY WILL BE DONE.”
George Earle Owen
Love, Cecil and Bea
