Millie…always smiling and a dear sweet lady. I always loved escorting her wherever she needed to go at Harmony River. God was waiting for her with open arms and she ran right to Him!

Sympathy to the family. It was always good to visit with Millie when I was at Harmony Living Center. She loved sharing about the family and her most recent butterfly addition to her room. Millie was a dear friend to my sister Dawn. I miss Millie.
