Mildred was a dear friend of my Mom Helen Elkin. Miss Mildred saved my Mom's life. Mom had taken a bad fall in her apartment. Somehow she managed to get to her cane and bang on her door. Mildred heard the noise and went to Mom's apartment to see what had happened. She called the paramedics. Mom was taken to the hospital where she was treated for a broken hip and a gash on her head. She recovered from all this thanks to Mildred getting help to her quickly. G-d Bless you Miss Mildred. We will miss you. May her memory always be a blessing to the family.
