Mrs. Miles was never my teacher, but she was my sister's teacher and my principal. She treated each student like they were her own, and supported us in every way she knew how. She will be dearly missed. My prayers are with her family during this time of loss.

Mrs. Miles was my fourth-grade teacher at Easthaven, 1970-71. She was an inspiring, innovative educator who helped mold my character and my intellect. Thanks for everything, Mrs. Miles.

Taught with Mary at Easthaven. Enjoyed knowing her. She's probably helping out with the young kids in Heaven right now!!

I remember Mary from the Easthaven years. She was always very kind and helpful in our discussions. I greatly admired her. Though I can't be there to bid her a final farewell, please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
