My first best friend

Mildred was my childhood best friend and next door neighbor. She was in my life for a brief period of time but had made a wonderful lasting impression. Rest In Peace Milly,
Joann Manning-Baker

Best Ever Gems Caregiver

I am so sorry for your loss of this truly exceptional lady. Toni suggested that her Mom would be a great addition to our Care-giving Team. She was so right. I spoke of her often when describing how the Gems Alzheimer’s program helps so many people. Milly was a devoted disciple of Teepa Snow and even made a special trip out of town to see her in person. Milly was so open to learning these techniques that she became the proof that it worked. She was so successful caring for those with Alzheimer’s clients that her days off were notably difficult. Her patience and positive attitude defined her spirit.

She also had fun with trying to do the impossible especially in our Giant Jenga game. Rest well Milly

Blessed to have known Milly

Carla and I are blessed to have had the privilege of calling Milly a friend. Always kind and loving; never a harsh word spoken even under difficult circumstances. We hope she is rejoicing in heaven with Rich, playing her guitar, singing and dancing. Beth and Toni, may God comfort you now and as the days pass.

Tony and Carla Previte
