Condolences left for Mildred N. "Millie" Gibbs-Galati:
When my wife Suzanne and I were married in 1995, Aunt Millie gave us the most beautiful blanket that she had knitted. It was, by far, the best gift we received and I think of her and the love she put into it everytime we use it. God bless you, Aunt Millie!

Aunt Millie was always a very
special aunt. As a child we
couldn't wait for her to visit.
Later as an adult we'd meet in
Milwaukee at Aunt Dolores & we
always had so much fun together.
Every morning & night when we
make the bed I see the beautiful
counted cross-stitch bedspread
she made for me & really appreciate all the work she put
into it.
She will always have a special
place in my heart & I will love
her forever.
Go with Jesus & the angels!

When I count my blessings, I count Aunt Millie among them. She always had time to give to you and a heart that wouldn't quit. It wasn't so much the things she did to make you feel special but the heart that she did them with. We will always love Aunt Millie. Her memories will stay with us as long as we live. Peace be with you!
