Milly was the first resident I got to really know on my very first day of working at clarendale. She had such an electric aura about her. Felt like I´ve known her my entire life. Even though I only got such a little amount of time with milly, it always felt like I knew her for a life time. We would talk about our days. How dinner was and more. I remember on her birthday I wasn´t able to work the section she was in, so I brought her in flowers and got to see her before she went to bed. I´ll never forget the smile on her face.

A time milly & I laughed together, although I could pick a million different times I would have to say the day I was passing out dinner & was pouring juice out for everyone and forgot to grab an extra cup at millys table and she told me "Just pour it in my mouth it´s okay" and we laughed about that. After that dinner we sat by the TV and watched friends together. I remember this one day I walked into her section & found her laid up on the couch watching the TV & asked if she´d like to go to bed and she said "it´s way too early" so in case I put the blanket over her and she held my hand and we joked around with each other & laughed together

I met her my very first day at clarendale, she had a smile that could light up the darkest room, a laugh that could heal wounds, and gave hugs that could make you feel like nothing else mattered. Her kindness, love for others & joyful laugh will always be remembered.
