Erin, Bill, Paxson and GM
I am heartbroken over the loss of Miller. I never stopped praying and giving faith that somehow something would change. It did, as you were allowed some time with Miller, versus none at all. Such a short time, and I know those moments will always live in your heart. Giving thanks to God for allowing that brief time. Miller will always live on, as none of us will ever forget him. I will finish this with a short note that my Granny said to me before her passing. We were talking about her life, and knew the moments were numbered. I cried and for a short time she said nothing of it. Then with a stern voice she said "Just why are you crying?" I answered the obvious that I would miss her, I didn't want her to die. The next words that came out of her mouth are ones I try to remember not only for her but for others who have passed. She said "Tonya, you have to stop crying and being sad for my death. I am NOT going anywhere, I'm just changing my address, and one day you'll be there too"
I love you one and all and my prayers are with you
