My Aunt Mildred , my Mimmy , was more a Mother to me than an Aunt . Always present for all the major events in my life and in the earlier years
present or close by every day . So many good times ! Family vacations
throughout our entire lives ! She never forgot to call and wish me Happy Birthday ! We got through many sad times together . I cherished the special relationship we shared . No one can ever replace Her . Mildred was
one of those Nurses that answered a personal calling . Being a nurse was a deep part of her being , her personality , her soul . This was evident in the way she related to and cared for her patients . She was a great credit to the nursing profession . Few possess the level of dedication , knowledge and professionalism that she did . She was completely devoted to her
Family . Her Girls are her shining glory ! She'd so often say " I'm so proud of my Children. " and rightly so . She loved Charles and has so missed him .
I truly believe there is a grand reunion in Heaven with all four Sisters and Grandma Love finally reunited . It's the only way I can make it . Believing
I'll get to see them again . That and my memories of all our times together .and knowing I am so blessed to have had Mildred in my life . I will never forget her .
