Today on 22nd of August was her 17th birthday. We think of you, Evelyn, and wish you all the best wherever you are. It's still hard to accept that it is already the 12th birthday she couldn't celebrate it with her family.

Tomorrow already eleven years have passed since the terrible incident and it still hurts like the first day. As a family dad I can hardly understand how much pain and how much strength her mum Noel, her dad Andy and her families Miller and Christie has to spend since then. And though it's been so long ago and unfortunately we never had the chance to get Evey known, there are thousands of people from anywhere in the world thousands of miles away from Iowa who are moved by her fate - and that shows what a very special child Evey was, could light up the room with her bright smile. Rest in peace little angel, we will never forget you.

My heart breaks for all the children who have to endure such horrible acts. It hurts my soul to read about it and I will dedicate my life to bring awareness and will pray for justice in all of the cases of little angels being preyed upon.

I am truly sorry for your loss I think of Evelyn often, I wanted her family to know, that I have her three legged cat Two-Two and he is doing very well. This causes me to think of her almost everyday and I hope that her family will find the justice they deserve!

Miller, Evelyn, don't give up dear. We're still working the case. Find Jennifer Sue & help her move furniture around the next thunderstorm, to make room for more being called home, high on the cloud top!
Sing loudly, while we strive for justice,

A beautiful smile that open the hearts of those who never knew her. Big sparkling eyes that now look at us and ask to find her justice. As a stranger to this beautiful child I will pray daily that justice is found. I know that no matter what the person that did this can and never will sleep in peace again. Evelyn you have found a permanent place in my heart. I hope your family is blessed with your justice soon.

I sponsored this guest book and unfortunatly the time is already been a year. I cannot believe how this tragic year has flown, but I'm sure the time was more difficult for the family. I cannot even try to imagine the pain. They say time heals all wounds. Painfully in this case, I don't see how that is possible.
My heart and prayers go out to the family. May GOD sustain you in your lives.

It is 11 pm, Sunday 2 July here in the UK and I know that today you are holding a memorial service for Evelyn. I came across the story by accident, via the internet and I have followed the case since then. I pray that you take some comfort from today and that Evelyn, God bless her, is in the arms of angels, safe and sound. You are in our thoughts and prayers and I thank God that my little daughter is safe in her bed tonight with her Mum and Dad watching over her. Richard and Linda, we have been in touch via email and I hope we will again soon. I send love from my family to yours and I know we are a breath away from justice for Evey. I pray that you take some comfort from today......God Bless xxxx

I know it has been a while, but Evelyn is on my mind a lot and I just wanted to offer my condolences to the family. I also want to use this to share a story about Evelyn. I used to work with her Kindergarten class, and she was the sweetest little girl I have ever met. Her smile could melt your heart. I remember one day, she and I were reading a story with a few other kids. The book was about this Caterpillar and his journey to become a butterfly. One of the kids asked me: "Why does he want to be a butterfly?" I said: "Because butterflies are beautiful." It was then that Evelyn chimed in and said: "Then why doesn't he want to be an angel? Angels are prettier and they fly higher!"
Thank you for making me smile, Evelyn. I know that you are a beautiful angel. Keep on flying!

To the family of Evelyn Miller:
Since the first day she went missing, I prayed that God would spare her life. Even though He didn't, I hope you still love and trust Him and know that she's up there right now jumping rope and doing cartwheels with her new friends, old friends, and Jesus. I am so sorry for your loss.

I want you to know that we have all been following this from the start and have been heartbroken by all this. We remember Evelyn when she used to come to the house once in awhile...so beautiful...so full of life...loved to play. My boys were friends of Andy/Lindsay and Casey/Noel...but lost touch after awhile.Jason lived with Andy in C.C. for abit. It was so nice to see you again at the funeral and wish it would of been under better circumstances and wish we could talked longer but you were busy with other friends and family. Please know you can stop by anytime if you come to New Hampton and I live in the same place. We are thinking about you always and hope they find whoever did this to your precious angel. I hope you liked the mirrors I made you guys. Take care and please contact me by email so I know how to reach you. I wrote to Andy/Lindsay in Waterloo and sent pics to them but the letter came back to me. DEBBIE

Today my little girl would have turned 6, but You are now locked in time at the age of 5. I wish you could be here today to celebrate your life. I know you are, in spirit. I just wish that I could hug you again, kiss you again, laugh with you again, and to tell you how much I love you, just one more time. There are always more questions than there are answers, I just wish that even just a fraction of my questions could be answered. Not a minute goes by that I ask myself, "how?" "why?" "what if?" I know that one day we will know the truth, but until then all I have are unanswered questions that eat me up inside and keep me awake at night. I sit in your bedroom and dream of days we were together, careless days of hugs, kisses, and laughter.I sit on your bed and imagine you lying asleep in the peace and comfort of your home. I sit in your chair and remember you in your ballet shoes and leotard dancing around me, laughing as the world passed us by. You were, are, and always will be my little princess, in heaven or here on earth. I love you and pray that one day we will be together again. You make heaven that much more sweeter. Before, I was afraid to die, but now I know you will be there waiting for me and that makes all my fears seem to fade away. I love you and Happy Birthday my sweet angel.
Your Mama Lindsey

Evelyn,
I never met you, but your precious smile has touched my heart in ways you can not imagine.
I am so sorry for your tragic ending, I only hope now that where you are is a thousand times better than what you had to deal with at the end of your short life.
Memories are forever-your light will always shine in those who loved you and knew you.

I just wanted to thank the person who made this guest book. Evelyn is my niece, unfortunately I was only blessed with knowing her for a very short time. I think she was the most beautiful little girl I have ever known. The loss of her has deeply touched everyone I know. It is a shame that this world will never again hear her laugh or see a room light up with her smile. She was taking from this earth too early. Her presents will always be with everyone who has ever known her. Evelyn you are ALWAYS in our thoughts and prayers and in our hearts.

I knew the little girl Evelyn Miller. She is my best friends neice. Anyways I feel so bad on what the family is going though. I have talked to Evelyn Aunt on the phone and the family isn't taking it that good. I wouldn't either. My family hopes they catch the person. I just pray that they find out who did this. It must be hard loosing someone that young and so pretty.

I want you to know how deeply sorry I am for the loss of such a sweet innocent child. It makes me sick at heart to know someone could do something so horrible to someone so sweet. She's a beautiful little girl. I have a grandson and I can't even imagine being without him. I think of you every day and please know our thoughts are with you. I wish there was something I could do. It's such a hopeless feeling. I don't know you at all, but I feel as though I do. Once again, I'm so sorry.
