My sincerest condolences to the entire Isherwood family. Millie was a wonderful lady. She was always positive and never complained and never wanted to put anyone out. I will miss her funny stories she always had to tell. Our quilting group has had a major void in it since she has not
been able to attend our gatherings. She will be missed greatly. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Love always
Susan

So sorry to hear the news of Millie's passing. She and Jim were good friends of my parents back in the day and I have many fond memories of visiting the Isherwood home on -- was it Wellington Rd? (can't believe I remember that) -- in Livingston. I was a shy kid, but I always felt comfortable around Millie. I remember her warm smile, her cat-eye glasses that matched my own, and the apparent ease with which she managed to raise three seemingly wild boys. It's been many years since I last saw her but it sounds like she lived a wonderful life full of warmth and love. My heartfelt condolences to Jim, Jay, Brian and Darryl and their families.

Jay, Brian, Darryl, Mr. "I" and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother, wife, aunt and grandmother. Although I didn't know Millie for long, she made me feel special; even insisting I call her Millie and not Mrs. Isherwood. She had an infectious smile and brightened any room she entered. My life is richer for having known her and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
