As well as her brothers and sisters whom she loved very much. Tito, Reginaldo, Alfonso, Solomon, Vita, Glenda, Vonnie and those who preceded her in death; Juan, Demetrio, Lorenzo, Oclires, Martha, Anita and Andrew. Millie was the most genuine, loving and selfless person. Always welcoming and caring for others unconditionally. When you walked into her home she made you feel special and wanted. We are eternally grateful that we had her in our lives. We will miss her tamales, empanadas, prune pies and buñuelos but especially her love. We are comforted to know she in the company of her best friend Jesus.
