My prayers are with your family. I haven't seen Aunt Mable in a long time, but I have fond memories of her watching my brother and I. My father was her brother-in-law, John Joseph Galleher. I will always have fond memories of her.

Wonderful memories with Aunt Mabel...New Year's Eve, cards, playing the organ...
I always think of Dad when I think of her. 2 peas in a pod. Those "Miller" kids...high energy, loving life, mischievious, card playing pranksters! Love them all! Peace and love to Mike, Tom, and their families.
