I was looking for info on our old house in Jeff City (Robert and Karla “Susi” Millard), and found this obituary. I know it’s a little late, and I hope I am not bringing any more grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences. I have such warm memories of your whole family, and Mrs. McHugh was a large part of that (didn’t she play the organ? I remember the “Mr. Lucky” theme playing at your house – I loved that). I know my mother Susi would also offer condolences, but she has Alzheimer’s and is in late stages. Peace be with you all..
