Rodolosi Family, My sincere condolences to your entire family on the loss of your mother, Millie. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept the following words, from a sympathy card, about losing a mother, I hope they provide a small degree of comfort during this difficult time. Millie will be missed, especially at the noon Mass, where she always held my collection basket when I received Communion. Mike Nowak - St. Val Usher, Noon Mass REMEMBERING MOM She gave the gift of laughter and dried her share of tears. She left her mark on many lucky lives throughout the years. She spread a lot of love around; she shed a world of light; and in the memories, she left behind, her spirit still shines bright. May God's gentle mercy be with you now; and know, you are not alone. May the prayers of others help in some small way - to bring you peace, comfort and courage each day. And remember, your mom will be in your memories and hearts - Forever!

I was so sad to hear of the passing of my dear high school friend . Millie was definitely a spark plug for the class of 1956 at Roosevelt High in Dearborn Township. A great friend to so many of us . Always a smile and cheering us all on . Her laugh was contagious. Always so easy to talk to ,laugh and even cry with. Millie's love and concern was a given . I treasure her friendship and will remember the wonderful woman she was . The song " Let There Be Peace on Earth and let it begin w me " would describe my friend , Millie My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Nancy Bartling Cook

We've lost another of the really good ones! The always-upbeat Millie was a treasure, and heaven is a luckier, happier place these last few days since Millie has arrived. 'Our loss' is 'heaven's gain' and it's comforting to know that we have another ally up there putting good words in God's ear for us. Many good wishes, happy thoughts, warm memories and Irish prayers are accompanying Millie on her journey home. Until we meet again, may God hold her closely in the palm of His hand. Fred McEvoy

To Millie's family, I send my prayers and condolences, and I know that she will be deeply missed by all of you. I can't say that I knew Millie very well, but as a parishoner of St. Valentine Church, I will always remember her. I will miss hearing her read at the noon mass on Sundays. She was such a good lector, and her passion for God's word came through to the parishioners in her reading, and in her dedication to being a lector, even when she needed assistance in getting to the podium. We have lost a bright light at St. Valentine, but Heaven has gained another one, as I'm sure our Risen Savior was at the gate to welcome her.
