I was deeply saddened to hear of Mrs. Miller's passing. I very fondly recall how welcoming and open she was whenever I would visit Orange, and I regret not having been able to visit in more recent years. Her energy and enthusiasm I'm sure are missed by all who knew and loved her.

I am so sorry to hear of Susie's passing. She and I were high school classmates and graduated together. I cannot recall seeing Susie since our graduation but I do remember her as being a very vibrant person who was well-liked by all her classmates. She seemed to always have a smile on her face and truly enjoyed sharing a laugh with every one. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I wanted to share that I only met Susie once, in the driveway at the turkey house in her convertible. We talked for a long time and she had me laughing at stories, many about Randolph and their children. I left and went home and told my wife about how Susie spoke of Randolph and how she adored him so much. It was refreshing and she was obviously a very special person. God Bless the family of Susie Miller!

Oh how we will miss Susie! She was such a wonderful person -she was full of life and loved her family fiercely - She was an unstoppable force in the community and could "get it done" better than most I know - Part of her legacy is that there was no one she met that didn't think of her as their friend - I know I did - I pray God will give you all comfort in the days and months ahead - BE comforted that she is in heaven arranging beautiful flowers and telling jokes and looking down on you all. She was loved by us all.

Dear Lisa, Pam and Toni and Mr.. MIller,
I am so very sorry to read of Susie's passing. Your mom (wife) was such a lighthearted wonderful woman who loved each of you. Each time I saw her she told me what each of you were doing and was always looking forward to a visit with her grandchildren.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your mom will be missed by the many people she touched with her talents, laughter and love. Give your grandmother a big hug from me and let her know I'm thinking of her too!

Long ago Susie was one of the first to welcome us to the community. Kind, gracious and big hearted she remained special to us in the years since. Her joy in life was contagious. She lit up a room and there is a vacancy now in the community that will not easily be filled. We will miss her laugh. We will miss her.

Mr. Miller and Family, I only knew Mrs. Miller for a short amount of time, however I learned very quickly that she was one of the most selfless, loving and caring indivials that I have met. I will never forget the great tasting cakes, flower arrangements and complements. It has been a great pleasure to get to know you and your family and to work with you and Mrs. Miller. She has made a great impact on many lives and will be missed by all of Orange and beyond! Love In Christ, Doug
