My heart felt condolences for the loss of your mother, She was one of my fondness memories in my childhood growing up. I always felt like I had a special place in her heart and always felt welcome anytime I would go over to visit. Her love of animals and plants was special and I think of all of the years of dogs,puppies, roses, and canning/freezing knowledge often. Her gentleness left a lasting impression on me that I will never forget and the house across the street will never be any ones but Mildred, Kermit and the boys.
Jack and family: Sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
Our sympathy to the Lenhart sons and families. We have good memories of our several years at St. Luke Church and many contacts with the Lenhart family. We saw the recent tribute to Mildred and Kermit in the church newsletter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate Mildred’s life. Pastor David and Barbara Godshall

Our condolences to the Lenhart Family. Sending hugs as you mourn your special lady and prayers for peace and comfort until your mourning turns to joy that she is Home. Love, Jenny and Jim Gast
