My name is Bianca Miller and I am one of the 18 great- granchildren of a remarkable woman named Mavis H. Miller. I am very proud to say that i got the chance and the honor to share laughs and tears with her. She was a woman of God and always instilled the importance of God and family into our every day lives. I love her very much and i will and do miss her. She was my backbone. She makes me the woman that i am today and i will always cherish and remember her memory. with lots of love.....

Gang Gang,

Not a morning,afternoon or evening goes by that my thoughts drift to you. I find myself at a loss for words for the first time in my life. I knew this day would venture but my stubborness would not allow me to believe. You are and were tenacious, vivrant, strong-willed and loving embodying all the traits that myself and others wish we can carry life-long as well!!! Peace and blessings be unto you and as I weep writing this for you, I smile with happiness in my heart and insurmountable joy that I am blessed to have called you Great-Grandmother. This love also stems without a doubt from your loving,stubborn Great-Great Grandson, De`Avon DeJour Preston.

Te amo mucho,

Everlasting Love Zandra Edmondson & De`Avon Preston

Gan, you were every body's mother or grandmother. I adopted you over 29 years ago as my grandmother & carried it down to my children. We will miss your loving smile, humor, & guidance. To the family, may God watch over each of you as you go through this most difficult time. We are praying for all of you.

Love, Karen, Ruel, Karelle, Shikara

To The Family of Ms.Mavis Miller:

Ms. Mavis was a Loving and caring person. She always had time to sit and listen to you when you had a problem that you thought was your own. She had a way of letting you know that you weren't alone; and that it wasn't as bad as you thought. We will miss her great smile and presence in her favorite spot in the choir pew. Our heart felt sympathy to all.

Stephanie, Mishonda, Joshua, Jania James and Caressa King.

Gan, Your love and strengh have been such a blessing to everyone whose life you've touched by a word of comfort or just a listening ear.

I've been encouraged by your strengh, comforted by your faith, and inspired by the gift of self you so willingly give and share with others.

You've always been a good and caring person and growing up under your watchful eyes was the best thing that could have happend to all of us. And just in case you ever wondered, I want you to know that you are loved and respected for the lessons you taught us, the happiness you gave us, and the wonderful Grandmother that you are.

May god continue to bless you today and always.

Rest in Peace!

Love, Marcia, Kyle, Keenen & Tooka

To the Family,

Mavis was a unique individual. What I shall always remember is her laugh and the chuckle she shared so freely. I offer my deepest sympathy to you and will always cherish the time that Mavis was a part of my life and the life of my family. May God give her peaceful rest and console you at this time.
