My mom, Millie has been a fixture at DoubleShot for the past 22 years. Back in 2004 she helped me get the place started, loaned me some money, painted, and put up with me on a daily basis. She was always the bookkeeper/office manager, but more than that: she was the friendly face and kind soul who took the time to get to know you, ask about your family, and lend a listening ear whenever you needed. People constantly said to me, “Your mom is so sweet.” And it made me laugh every time because it’s true, but she was also tough as nails. She left us yesterday after living with cancer for far too long. The place hasn’t been the same since she retired in 2023, and her passing has left a deep scar on my heart. Every day is a gift. Start with coffee, and live each one with intention. Follow your dreams. Be kind. And stand up for what you believe to be the truth. Thank you, mom.
Services Thursday, April 9 at Fitzgerald Ivy Chapel, just up the street from DoubleShot. Viewing at 3p, funeral at 4p.
