My Aunt Millie was awesome. I'll never forget all the things she taught me when I was growing up, about jewelry making, and about the different stones and minerals and how they're shaped and cut and refined to be put into a piece of jewelry. I wish I had a tumbler and all the tools and stuff - I'd spend all my time making all kinds of things, maybe take over for how Aunt Millie would make things for everyone for Christmas and their birthdays... Aunt Millie is the reason I'm fascinated with rocks and minerals, and why I know so much about them, and still find myself browsing the web, amazed at the beauty we've got under our feet, if we just took the time to expose what's hiding under the surface of so many things. I guess you could say she taught me to never judge a rock (or a person) by it's 'cover'. Aunt Millie is resting now, and at peace, and not struggling anymore. She made it to 90 (Jan 19th), so I guess we could say she lived a long, happy life. I'm sure she's up there watching over us, with my sister Julie and my Grandma and Grandpa and many loved ones we've lost way too soon. I'll be posting a photo soon. Rest easy, Aunt Millie. I love you. <3
Remembering my dearest Aunt Millie....
I have so many happy memories of you from childhood right through my adult years that always bring a smile to my face. From staying at your house out on Long Island when I was a little girl, to digging for gems at the rock quarries, and all of us dancing around the living room with my own kids up at Sacandaga Lake. We had so many great times and laughs together. I will miss your beautiful smile and comforting hugs. You will always be remembered by all the family who loved you...sisters, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren!!! For me, you will always have a special place in my heart. I love you. Xoxo
Your loving niece, Ruth
