Mark, I just heard about your brother "Doc". Dot and I thought a lot of him. It seems like it was only a short time ago that we were sharing the trials and tribulations of the Warwick High School Band and Band Parents Association with Doc, Cathy, Monica and Todd. It seems like only yesterday when you and I would talk about sports, band and most anything except work at Fts Eustis and Monroe. We are sorry we did not know about Doc in time for his service, but we would not have been able to make it anyway. We are spending most of our time in Houston because Dot is in a cancer clinical trial there fighting for her life. We do offer our sincere condolences to all of the family. Maybe one of these days we can get together again. Jim and Dot McDonald

You don't know me, but I want you to know how sorry I am about your loss of Myles.
Mark Hudson was one of the best drummers I ever had the pleasure of teaching. He said that Myles got him interested in drums, initailly taught him how to play drums, and started him on his first "street beats".
Thank you - Myles.
Please accept my humble condolences.
Best regards,
Jim Cothran

Dear Cathy and family,
I was shocked to see Miles had passed away. I often think about your family when I pass by the house on Big Bethel Road. Many years have passed since I have seen you, but I think of you often. I will always remember Miles stopping by Dr.M's office to see his mom and talking about the police dept. or a case he was working on. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers. Take care, fondly
Brenda and Leonard Hearn
