I was just called by Millie's son Chris. He put the phone to Millies ear and I told her that everyone is praying for her. All of us are missing her but we all know that even though she is not able to get on here she is still thinking about us.
Chris mentioned that she is not suffering any pain and I was happy to be hearing that. Even though she can't speak he told me that she can still hear and I was happy that I was able to speak to her. I will keep everyone informed but Chris told me that he will continue to try and post here. I just want to say that there were other people in this group and some other groups as well, that were considered to be the Matriarchs or Patriarchs of the groups. If you may recall one of these people was Zavie Miller. Zavie was one of the first on Gleevec. He would always help people that were on it no matter where in the world they lived. When he passed on there was Lottie Duthau (Mommy Lottie, as I would call her) who kept this group supplied with any information that she was able to find about things that were helpful to the CML community. Now there is Millie Houtz who would always try to be of help to those that really needed someone to be able to understand what they were going through. Millie was always putting out her prayers for all of us, including me and she would also email me all of the time. She was like a mother to some in the group. She always enjoyed kuilting, cooking, her flowers and garden, and as I recently found out, teddy bears. Maybe her son Chris said it right, "she is still driving the bus". 18's, Marty On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 11:17 AM, Marty Gartenberg <wa2...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just spoke to the nurse at Millies hospice who told me that she is > resting comfortably.
