Aileen,
Janice and I just learned that Mil had passed away. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that memories of all the good times you shared together will sustain you and give comfort in dealing with his loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rick Scarborough and Janice Page-Scarborough

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you remember me. You are still the ultimate southern lady. Your brains, your beauty, your class, I think about you all the time. i am now 43 and you still are at the top of the list of people i asspire to be like. You are a gem and I was fortunate to cross your path, I worked for you at the Inn. The first lady I met that was all I wished I could be or be like. Thank you!

Oh, dear Aileen, I just learned of Mil's passing. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Pat Shattuck

Aileen ~ I was shocked and saddened today to learn that Mil had passed away. He was such a good friend and adviser to my late wife Michele and me when we first moved to Atlanta. We had mutual friends in Macon and found that we had stayed at the 1842 Inn when you were there running it! What a grand place it was and what many wonderful memories you must have of your life together. Having lost Michele in 2004, I know the grief you must be feeling now and how different your life must be. But I can tell you that you will heal and Mil will always be in your heart and mind helping you to survive. . .and you will.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

With heart felt sympathy,

John and Jane Runningen

I miss my dear husband Mil so very much.
Love you always,
me

Mrs. Hatcher,

I worked with Mil at Jones Day several years ago. In his subtle and gentle way, Mil provided me with valuable wisdom and placed his trust in me at a critical time in my career. I will forever remember him for these and other gestures which illustrate the strength of his character. I will miss Mil, yet very much appreciate the chance to have know him. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Aileen
Norris and I were sorry to hear of Mil's passing. You were so kind to me at the Hilton Head meeting. It just seems like yesterday that the four of us were sitting down for dinner at the ACTEC Meeting. You are one of the most up beat, happy, entergetic people I know. I hope that your close friends and family are able to help you throught this most difficult time. Love Cindy and Norris Wright

Dear Aileen,

You are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. May your fond memories comfort you always.

Dear Aileen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. During Mil's time as President of Macon Heritage he was always a mentor and help to me and I cherish the times we spent together. The 1842 Inn that you both worked on continues as your legacy in Macon. He was both a gentleman and a gentle man and I hope you will be sustained by many happy memories of your life together.

Mrs. Hatcher: We have never met, and I have neither seen nor spoken with Mil since we finished law school in 1973. I have often inquired of others about him through the intervening years...I remember him as being blessed with a gentle spirit even then; I am saddened to hear of his untimely passing and do regret that we ever lost touch...as was proven by his notable career, he was ever the bright and talented person, a credit to his profession...I have no doubt that he was the same with both his family and friends.. respects to Mil from an old friend... Mike Murphy

I am so sorry to hear of Milford's passing. May the "God of all comfort" bring you peace and hope at this time of need (1 Corinthians 1:3,4).

Dear Aileen,
I just learned of your dear husband's untimely death. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time.

Dear Aileen, I just saw the obituary in the paper and wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll always remember what good friends you and Mil were to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Julie Herron Carson

Nancy and I were so shocked to learn of Mil's passing. We deeply regret that we are out of town at a family commitment and cannot be at the service to honor one of the finest gentlemen

Aileen, We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Mil's untimely death. ACTEC and the Georgia fiduciary bar are diminished by his passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. John and Malane Spears (Decatur, GA)

Dear Aileen:
Just on a break from court and I wanted to express my sincere sympathies to you and the family.
I was so grateful that Mil and I had a chance to chat when he spoke in Naples last month...we both laughed that none of our high school buddies would believe that I had spent the last 33 years in the judiciary and I had asked him to keep the secret:) He was and is a great guy and will be missed by many...God's grace to you and the family.
Hugh Hayes...Naples, Florida

Mil has been a part of our family for as long as I can remember. He was always a source of great wisdom and never short on smiles. We already miss him terribly. Our thoughts are with you, Mrs. Hatcher.

I am so sorry to hear the news. Mil was always wonderful to me. Will miss him a lot. God bless you Aileen. Rob Danner

Our time working together was all too brief. But, I know I am the better for having known him. May God bless you and the family.

Aileen, Mil was a true professional in his work but, more importantly, he was a true friend for life. I will always cherish our friendship which began in our high school fraternity. He was special then and will be forever.

Dearest Aileen,my thoughts, love and sincere prayers are sent to you and the family at this difficult time. You are in my heart.
Maggie Page, Barnesville, GA

MIL'S LEGACY WAS HIMSELF. HE BROUGHT HONOR AND DIGNITY TO ALL. HE'S HOME...
