My condolences. I went to school with Scott when we were kids.
Millie was a strong woman with many smiles. I feel honored to have known her.
I loved spending time with Mildred, she loved doing crossword puzzles which by the way was very good at. She loved her family more than anything. I will cherish the memories I had with her. What a beautiful person she was.
I am so sorry to hear about millie. I have had the absolute pleasure to have taken care of her the time she was at Shadyside. When ever I had a bad day I could go to her room and she would make my day better. We had our own special bond. I was the worthless aide and she was my p.i.t.a. If people ever heard us they would of thought we hated each other. She told my granddaughter one time tell everyone not only am I pretty but smart too. To this day she hasn’t forgot that. Millie was a amazing person and I will never ever forget her. I always told her she was my second mom. Love you mille R.I.P Linda Pinda
