Our hearts are heavy for your loss yet we know that God has gained a wonderful soul. It has been a pleasure to work with and to know Milton and we know that this is hard for the family but your faith will carry you through the tough times.
Rhonda, Tonya, Jenna and Woodcock Family, We are so sorry to hear of Milton’s passing. Emogene spoke of him often, but I never met him until we opened the antique shop. He bought several Internationl Harvester pieces. He reminded me so much of Emogene. She was such a good friend, loved her much and still miss her. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May your faith and good memories help to carry you through. Sincerely Richard & Carolyn
We will never forget the love,support and freindship that milton and you have shown our family and the community, he will be well thought of and miss by all. love David & Donnie
