My Deepest Sympathy to the Family upon losing a wonderful man from the Gladiolus world. Miles will join the other growers in heaven I'm sure. He produced some of the best new cultivars the world has known. William J. Owen International Registrar.

My deepest sympathy to the immediate family. I have fond memories from growing up next to my uncle Miles. He always had a smile for us when we would come invade his gladiola garden and a realistic worm eating act when it was time for us to go home. Uncle Miles’s spirit lives on in my thoughts. He will be greatly missed.
Love and comfort to you,

Jeff and Family, Bobbie:
Jeff, I have known your family my entire 35 years. I have many wonderful memories of all of you. I remember visiting your mother with my mom shortly before she passed those many years ago. Miles always gave me a warm smile and wave. My deepest sympathy at this time in your lives. But if anything, you have proven time and time again your tenacity and ability to overcome the darkest of obstacles. May you feel the comfort of the Lord and His loving arms around you. (You're the best doc around!!)
All my best,
Tami (DeMass) Oliver

Dear Labrum Family,
My mom, Irma White, Miles' first cousin died about 16 months ago and sadly for me, that was the last time I saw and visited with Miles. He was so sweet when he came to visit my mother and I appreciated his quiet and kind demeanor when he comforted me and my siblings at her funeral. Mom always loved talking about Miles and his wonderful gladiolas and reknowned botony knowledge. She was so proud to be his cousin and enjoyed his and his sister Elaine's company when they visited her over the years, and especially near the time of her death. She always spoke of him fondly as such a kind, loving and intelligent man. I have fond memories of childhood visits to Aunt Kitty's home many many years ago and in later years going to Miles' home and seeing the beautiful gardens that Miles tended so carefully. I am saddened by Miles' death, but I know that, along with many other family members who have gone before him, that Miles' cousins, my mother Irma, her sister Lucille, and brother Rulon, are all welcoming him to the next life with open arms.
with love and condolences,

My deepest sympathy for your lose. It is too bad that we loose track of our friends and neighbors through the years. As a lad I can remember the rows and rows of gladiolas in the Labrum yards. I also remember going to the County Fair in Murray and looking to see the ribbons that they had won. Miles will truly be missed, he was an artist and the beauty that he created will be wonderful memories. May the Lord bless and comfort the family.

Jeff and Family,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I remember taking a class from him at the University of Utah about 30 years ago. The class was called "Trees and Shrubs." This was a very enjoyable class as Miles lead us about the Campus and taught us to identify every tree and to memorize the genus and species of each one. Miles displayed a great enthusiasm which he imparted to his students.
He was certainly blessed with a long and productive life and I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
Best regards,
Your Neighbor

Uncle Miles is one of the most patient, loyal and honorable men I know. He is one to give his ALL. He deserves a mansion in heaven due to his faithfulness and integrity. I'm so grateful for the love and thoughtfulness that he has given to me. I've been blessed to know him and I will miss him a great deal.
With Love,
Claudia
