As a kid my family would rent the cottage up the hill from the millers along with my cousins the Redmans. We would have so many great times in the summer with the Millers
What I recall most was when we would go to Duck Island all the sea glass we found must be deposited in the vase she had on the table in the living room. My condolences to the Millers
