Milli and I went to Bible Camp many years ago together and she has been a wonderful friend ever since. I
remember at Camp was where I first heard her sing. She sang high soprano then. The song was" Oh Lord
Our Lord How Excellent Thy Name.". It was simply beautiful. I believe she will be singing it again.

This is a funny story about sweet Milli. For years, we rode ATVs every week with Milli and Tommy and we
had gone to a new area to ride with our riding group. We were going to be there for 2-3 days, camping and
riding. Gene and I had brought a lot of campfire firewood to last while we camped for those days.
We settled in for the evening, had a nice campfire and then everyone gradually went to bed because of
riding early next morning. Lebron Smith got up early to start a campfire to make coffee but he couldn't find
the firewood so he thought we had loaded it back up. NOPE, our Milli had sat up most of the night and
used up all that firewood. We teased her for the longest about being our firebug. We love and miss you
Milli. RIP, sweetie. Love, Reba and Gene Wagner
