Dear Mark & Ben
When the passing of Milli was announce, my mind filled with all the wonderful memories of our friendship. Milli came to my home on a daily basis after her own tragedy were we spent many hours remembering.
I recall sitting in her #1 fashion store on Main Street in Hamilton when she first opened it. They came from far and wide to purchase one of her fashions.
Memories are made of this. Milli will remain an important link in my gold chain of memories.
Love

Dear Ben and Mark,
We were quite saddened to hear of Milli’s passing. Although I have not seen your family since my father passed, I remember Milli fondly. She was a great friend to Ruth and Lew, and a very gracious host when I visited. I particularly enjoyed her eclectic taste in art, and her obvious passion for all things aesthetic. Our sincere condolences.
