Mildred was my biggest cheerleader at the Longview News-Journal. When editors were on my back, or I felt down, she noticed and asked what was up. After a car wreck 10 years ago, she and Annie kept an eye on me, telling me I was walking better lately or bluntly asking why my limp was worse that day.
Mildred gave a damn, and she wouldn't take crap from anyone, anyone. I like it that she's buried right where the shoplifters from Kroger hop the fence on the run, because Mildred is in the right spot to trip them.
Her heart always was in the right spot, and now her spirit is home. She's not a pilgrim anymore, and I trust I'll see her and the rest of the true hearts when this pilgrimage is over.##imported-begin##Glenn Evans##imported-end##

I met Mildred over 6 years ago when I first moved to Longview and started work at LNJ. She was an instant friend and we shared many long talks and inside jokes. She always made me laugh. We had a mutual love of the outdoors and plants and she taught me so much. I could count on her to just listen when I needed that and did the same for her. She was a like a mom to me in a lot of ways and I will miss her so much. She loved her family very much and was worried about each of you. I wish you all peace of mind knowing she is in a better place and free from disease and pain. She will look down from Heaven as your guardian angel. Thank you for letting me take care of Lucky. I know it gave Mildred comfort to know she would be taken care of and it gives me comfort to go home and have her meet me at the gate every day, ready to play ball! God bless you all.##imported-begin##Leah##imported-end##

To the family of Mildred Alvey, I would like to say, that I did not get a chance to know Mildred very long, but in the time that I did get to know her I found out that she was a very nice person, and through it all,we became friends. I thank God for giving me an opportunity to meet her.She will be missed in our lives, she has touched so many of us in so many ways. I will never forget the last time I was in Texas, 2 weeks ago looking at the smile on her face as we visited and prayed together. I thank God for that. And to her childrens,God saw that you mom was getting tired, and he just whispered in her ear, and said, it's time to come home. Hold on to your memories,and lean on God,and he will carry you through......LARRY SWEAZY &SHIRLEY CARTER##imported-begin##Larry Sweazy##imported-end##

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Mildred was a wonderful and caring person. When we would see "Trouble" pulling up in the parking lot, we always knew to get ready for whatever joke or crazy antic she was fixing to throw at us. There will be a huge void here at the newspaper without her laughter and her jokes! May God Bless you all!##imported-begin##Shaunda McDaniel##imported-end##

TO MILDRED'S FAMILY:
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU DURING THIS VERY PAINFUL TIME. KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL SHARING THIS LOSS OF MILDRED. SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE WOMAN. SHE WAS WHO SHE WAS AND DIDN'T PRETEND TO BE ANYTHING ELSE. SHE WAS WHAT I CALLED "THE REAL THING!" HER SNEAKY GRINS, CACKLES AND PRACTICAL JOKES WILL BE FOREVER MISSED AND REMEMBERED. THESE 18YRS AT THE NEWS JOURNAL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME FOR ME WITHOUT MILDRED. SHE WAS A DEAR FRIEND AND I LOVED HER VERY MUCH.
SHE LOVED EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU VERY MUCH. WE OFTEN HAD TALKS ABOUT THE FOUR WHEELING, CAMPING TRIPS, AND VACATIONS YOU ALL DID TOGETHER. CHERISH THOSE MEMORIES, AND BE THANKFUL YOU HAVE THEM.
MAY GOD HELP ALL OF US FIND THE PEACE, STRENGTH AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS TRAGIC LOSS.

LOVE AND PRAYERS,

CHARLOTTE, MARK,
AND ERIC MINOR##imported-begin##CHARLOTTE MINOR##imported-end##
