  • Daisy’s Son and Family,

    Your mom and dad came to my church when I was only nine years old and they were the couple that I consider “My Pastor and Wife” to this day. Your dad baptized me when I was eleven years old and your mom was an ever present force of strength. She was kind and firm and supportive to the youngsters. She was a grandma to many of us, that extended family that helps us walk a straighter path. I was at my mom’s grave recently and walked by your dad’s marker and was flooded by warm feelings of respect and appreciation. Your mom’s earthly remains will lie next to your dad’s now and her soul is with Pastor McMillan and at peace. I remember Mrs. McMillan with fondness and appreciation.

  • “Mrs. McMillan” was a truly special neighbor and friend. It’s no exaggeration to say she was like a grandmother to me. My condolences to her family whom I’ve met only briefly over the years, but she told me so much about. You all meant everything to her. It saddens me to know that I won’t get to see her the next time I travel back to Richland, but it heartens me to think she is in a better place with God and the husband she loved so deeply and to whom she was so wholeheartedly committed.

  • To Daisy and Donald’s family: These two wonderful souls opened their home to me when I visited them more than 30 years after living in the house our family sold the church. They even let me spend a night in my old childhood bedroom. I hardly slept at all, I was so excited. We continued corresponding/visiting Daisy after Donald died, and I’ve informed my daughters today of Daisy’s passing. “She was one graceful lady,” one of them responds. And caring and concerned, and simply lovely. Rest in peace, Daisy.

    Our condolences to the family,

    Lesley, Kumari, and Anneke Nelson
