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.

To my dear friend, I will miss you.

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...

Dearest friend Bobbie:
How I wish I could be there with all of you today. What a great man has left us. My Love and Prayers are with you all.

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...

Jillana,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. What a wonderful legacy your father left!
May the good memories of him carry you through the times to come!
Our warmest aloha, Glen and Mary Bendixen

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...
