To the entire Miller family my heart is so sad for you all. This sweet woman had so much for the entire family. Always remember you might not can see her but I promise SHES THERE. She has gone ahead to prepare for you all just as she did here on earth. May God give comfort and peace in knowing she's home with the father.

Barbara was such a light to everyone she would meet. Her fashion sense was and will always be in my memories. Even though it has been years since I have seen her, I know she will be missed. Prayers for the family.
