Mildred Hammons

Mildred and Henry Hammons were friends with my mother and father BEFORE I was born sixty-four years ago. Both treated me with great love and kindness. Faith, hope, and love. Mildred was the epitome of these Christian principles, and she exercised them without judgment. We are all poorer for her loss. I send my sincere condolences to Henry, Susie, Betty Jo, Hank, and Mary Hazel. Although she is gone from our sight, she will live in our hearts. Peace and blessings.

To My Beloved Mom and Best Friend...I miss you so very much, and don't know how to go on without you. I just feel so blessed to have a Mother like you and will cherish your memory until we're together again. As I was reading the paper today, I found a poem that says it all for me and would like to share.."We are connected, my Mother and I, by an invisible cord that connects us till birth, this cord can't be seen by any on Earth; This cord does its work right from the start, it binds us together attached to my heart; I know that it's there, though no one can see, the invisible cord from my Mother to me; the strength of this cord is hard to describe, it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied; it's stronger than any cord man could create, it withstands the test, it can hold any weight; and though you are gone, though you're not here with me, the cord is still there but no one can see; It pulls at my heart, I am bruised..I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline as never before; I am thankful that God connects us this way, a Mother and daughter death can't take it away...Anonymous".

You are my heart and I will love you forever..Betty Jo

Aunt Mildred will be forever in my memories.The times we spent together were priceless.Just to sit and listen to her stories about her childhood growing up with my dad Bill Curtis were some of the best times I spent with her.The trips to Tulsa were so rewarding just to pull up in aunt Mildred's and uncle Henry's driveway to have them greet us was worth the trip.To my cousins.aunts and uncles in Oklahoma stay close to us and each other,because life is short and aunt Mildred would have wanted it that way.

To all of Mildred's family and friends. I don't have to tell you all how loving, caring and sweet of a woman she was, but I am going to anyway. Although I lived hundreds of miles away from her and only was able to spend a few weekends with her those were weekends that I will always cherish. She opened her heart and house to my siblings and I and made us feel very welcome. We would talk on the phone on several occasions and she was always a pleasant, warm and loving person to have a conversation with. I had always told her that I wanted to write a book about her and how she made her marriage last so long. She told me she just realized that her and Henry would not always agree on everything, and as long as they respected each others opinions that was the secret. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you. Always live your life with love, kindness, understanding and respect for each other because Mildred is watching over us all.

I have such fond memories of Aunt Mildred from my childhood and it was a privilege to re-connect with her (and my cousins) over the last several years. Getting to know her as an adult was every bit as rewarding as having her as my loving aunt when I was young. Her kindness, her smile and her hugs (especially her hugs!) will remain a part of me forever. My sincere condolences to my Uncle Henry and my Cousins. Mildred is and will be sorely missed, she was such an amazing woman and may she rest in peace. With love, Ray Curtis

To Uncle Henry and my Cousins, It's hard to believe it's been a little over 2 months since we lost Aunt Mildred. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her and think of her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Evelyn
