"Rest In Peace my sweet Latrese. Your mark will not soon be forgotten. My prayers are with your family at this time. I know that God will give them comfort and healing with the passing of time. You made your mark on eternity earlier than most and we can celebrate a life well lived. Rest soundly my friend. You will be sorely missed. "

"To my loving family of LaTrese Chantel McMillan: God has truly never withheld blessings from our family. He has shown us what abundant life is here on earth. LaTrese has been and will remain a most precious, beautiful, caring, loving (and so much more) expression of God's love to us and the world. In His divine selflessness, wisdom, love and timing, He gave LaTrese to us and in His divine wisdom, selflessness, love and timing He took her back. So what can I say to and for us, whose hearts ache so? "LaTrese is in a sweet sleep, one where her very spirit is watched over/kept safely by the Almighty Lord until that "Great Getting Up Morning". It is okay to weep, It is okay to mourn. Jesus did so, concerning the death of Lazarus. Yet in the midst of our weeping, "We shall praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ur heavenly host. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Why? Because our hope in the Lord remains!! Our God is ...........!!!!!!! Amen"

"For you, Latrese's family, I am so sorry to hear about her passing. I've worked with her in an accounting situation many times when we settle Broadway Across America shows at the Broward Center. She was always such a professional, yet caring person. We will all miss her. Love and hugs to all of you. Nancy McDaniel, Broadway Across America."
