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.
