While digging through my recipe card, I ran across my belated friend Millie's Pecan Pie. She introduced me into the world of pies and pastries in the 70's. She passed away from Lou Garrets disease. So I will post this in memory of Millie and any other person that is facing the battle of any disease. Gone but never forgotten! Miss you dear friend!
