Omaha, NE Saturday, May 18, 2013 Millie was such a delight! Loved to see her and her Mom, Granny Knieriem, get together and giggle. When she smiled, which was often, she'd radiate Sunshine. Such a kind, generous, and FUN lady. I am so grateful "Herbie" became such a great friend early in my life so I was able and blessed to know her decades ago. Death ends a Life but Not a Relationship, so we can all "talk" to Millie forever. Heartfelt joy and sympathies to her loved ones.Deborah Hrivnak
