THIS WAS THE FIRST THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS WITHOUT DAD, AND IT WAS VERY HARD, BUT TO THINK WHERE HE GOT TO SPEND CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.....WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR FACE TO FACE, HOW COULD WE WISH HIM BACK??? WE MISS HIM VERY, VERY MUCH! BUT WE KNOW HE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER THAN WHERE HE IS NOW. HE ALWAYS PREACHED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO JUMP OR "FLY" ALL OVER WHEN HE GOT TO HEAVEN, BUT MOST OF ALL TO SEE JESUS FACE TO FACE AND TO THANK HIM FOR DYING FOR US , SO THAT WE COULD BE SAVED, AND SPEND...

"Dad", He was always the man I looked up to. I really respected this man. He would talk and make friends with anyone anywhere and he would always make a way to ask them if they go to church or if they knew Jesus, he really lived up to that verse that he had printed right on the front of his bible. John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. Dad, you truly was a shining light in this darkened world. I love you and miss you, but, we'll see ya soon on the other side, Lord Jesus I love you...

May God's Love bring you comfort and strenght. Our Prayers are with you. GOD BLESS.

Bro Miles was my Pastor during my late teenage years. Thank God for his and Sis Miles' guidance through that stage in my life. My prayers to the family, because I know that there is a big gap in your lives. I had the pleasure of spending time with the Miles family and learned that Bro Miles was a kind and caring Man who had a sense of humor. God Bless You Brother Miles...God must have needed another angel.

Please accept my condolences. Basil and Art are both great employees and very good people. By working with both of them tells me that their father was a very good person. God Bless

Ever since I can remember I always looked up to grandpa. He was a spiritual patriarch. It was because of him that I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and at such a young age. He was always fun, and I know that he loved me. I'm thankful for my Grandpa and look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

I often thought in my life when I got ready to leave and be with Jesus what would I leave behind. Mr. Miles left great treasureys behind. If I show others just half of what Mr. Miles showed me I would be thankful. Mr. & Mrs. Miles has tought me things that I will always remember. Been a christian and don't hide your light under a bushel. Be proud that you are a christian. Been a Christian and a Child of God are two different things. Any one can say they are a christian but, how many say they...

Art, I am sorry for your loss and will pray for your family.

I called him dad, he was my earthly father. He taught me a lot, but I learned a lot more from his life than from what he said. Dad and mom would always pray first when anything troubled us, then they would do whatever they needed to to help. He is where he always wanted to be now and I see him with a huge smile. When my days are numbered I hope to join him, at the feet of Jesus.
