Our heart-felt prayers go out for all of you. Always thankful for one of God's faithful servants. Hope you will treasure those good memories of him as you realize that there are more memories to make and pictures to take. That means that life goes on here for you, and that's what he'd wish for you.
May the Spirit comfort you at this time,

Brother Miley was a fine and godly man. He was so helpful to my family through the years. He was there when family members were sick or having surgery or just needed someone to pray with them or for them. Heaven is sweeter. May the Lord comfort his family and bless them. I heard many great sermons at Richburg Baptist Church delivered by Brother Miley. ---Granddaughter of Peggy Hartfield.
