  1. Mildred Harris is my cousin! I live in California City, CA 93505! When I can’t reach her by phone she is usually in Hospital. I didn’t know she had been missing! She was very independent! Didn’t realize she had deteriated dementia! I last talked with her in October 2015! She has lots of friends & family near by!
