Dear Millie's family,
I loved Mildred so very much. I was one of her nurses along with Donna and trust me when I say Millie could lighten up a really stressful shift. She was so sweet and caring and the first to say "You look tired dear" at 10:00p.m.
I know she's looking down on all of now smiling.... and dancing. Please know my thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
