McDole Family - So sorry to see of Mildred's passing. Byron and Mildred were two of the nicest and kindest people I ever knew. I saw them frequently when I lived in Colfax. My grandfather (John Fleming) was Clella's brother and I was a frequent visitor with him to visit Ray and Clella.. In the 60s and 70s the Fleming family still had a reunion and Mildred and Byron were were regular attenders. Al these years later I still have memories of how kind (Mildred and Byron) and encouraging they were. Comfort to the family during this time of loss.
