Aunt Mildred will be greatly missed. She was a great person to all of us. Like all of the Myers Kids, walk into their home and the first question was, you want something to eat. HA !! Thinking about and prayers sent to our Texas Family from myself Tom Scott, Daughters, Dawn and Krystal, and all of their children.
