Just a note to express my sympathies to you in the loss of your Dad, Jan, 21 and your Mom, Jan.26, 2013. I lived under them in the apartments on Bailey Drive back in 1984-1990. I really enjoyed being their neighbor. Wow, they were married 70 years. What a blessing. I'm fondly remembering your folks.

To the Miller Family,
I worked with Jessie at T-O-D for years. She was always a lady of gentle report, of thoughtful and loving spirit and I will never forget her. You were blessed to have such a Proverb's 31 woman and I was blessed to have known her.
May you feel God's comfort and presence in the midst of your sorrow.
Prayers to you during this most difficult season of double loss.
