I came to love Mildred in a very short time. I started volunteering at the nursing home about 2 months ago and right away I had a connection with her. She was so precious and sweet and I loved talking to her. She told me all about her life and what a wonderful husband she had been blessed with. She helped me more than I helped her. She had such an appreciation for life and "flowers". I miss her so much. But I will continue to go there and I hope I meet others as wonderful as she was. With my sympathies, Debbie Johnson
