My mother, my best friend and angel. I often wonder if you are looking upon us and getting a chuckle at how we have fumbled a bit in our attempt to hold it together the best we can. Confusion and then laughing at ourselves knowing that you would have found some humor in our disorientation. Life is not and never will be the same without you. Your wisdom, guidance, and tremendous love held us together and always will. We miss you so very much, but you will always be with us in our many precious memories, and you will continue to live in our hearts. I will always remember your words. “You can be beautiful on the outside, but true beauty comes from within.” Love always, Shelly.

Dear John, Rochelle, Richard and Tiffany,
Sending my deepest sympathy, hugs and love. Lennie was my beautiful, sweet friend, who was like a Mother to me. I was so very fortunate to work with her and we shared so many conversations about life. Her love and advice helped me through all three of my pregnancies. Lennie’s smile, and kindness brought so much sunshine to those around her. She was so very special, loved by everyone who knew her, and had such a huge heart. I will forever miss her.

Dear John and family,
I worked with Lennie at MPS at the Service Product Center. She was a beautiful person. Always had a smile on her face, and had this contagious laugh that lit up everyone’s day. So sorry to hear this. My sincere sympathy to you and family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am in Marion Ohio this week and came across Lennie’s obituary in the Marion Star. I never met you all, however, I just wanted you to know that I am praying for your family.
I actually live in Palm Bay, Florida. I come to Marion often. I still call it home. May the peace and comfort of our Heavenly Father be with you.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
