It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since Milla's passing. And even harder to know that a friend is now in Milla's former care home trying to live with a cancer diagnosis.
Continue to rest in the LORD Milla. Until we meet again.

Milla thoughts and prayers were for her children and for the healing power of God. It was always easy to pray with Milla. It is good to know that you have now join that cloud of witnesses on whose shoulders we stand. Blessings on Ann-Marie and John as they mourn for their Mum and are thankful for their last time together.

Mila's kind and gentle soul was a gift throughout her time with us here and will continue to be now that she has joined the community of saints who have gone before her. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. May the love of God surround all who mourn her passing.
