Good Bye Uncle Glen! You were the last of the Millers that I knew. I will always remember your quiet sweetness and a kind word. You will be with Aunt Mary and have a laugh again. Our prayers are with the family as the weeks go by.

So sorry to hear about your father. He was always a smiling face when whenever I ran into him at the Knife and Fork or around town. He spent a lot of time "shooting the breeze" with my father and the other men at the local spots. My thoughts are with you.
