Poetic Obituaries: Millie [Schaffnit] was an avid reader

all of her life. During the past 40 years, she expressed herself writing short stories, prose and poetry. In November of 2002 she was honored with the International Poet of Merit Award. One of her last published poems appeared in Centres of Expression, Nobel House Publishers, in 2007. This poem was written expressly to the many people she knew in the Jamestown area whom she could no longer get out to see because of aging and poor health.
