Dear Miller Family,

You all know I thought the world of Mrs. Miller. When I was in high school, I loved to see her dress up, because she had so much style, grace and beauty. I thank God she was an influential part of my youth, and I will continue to cherish the times we all shared with her.
I ran into her and Mr. Miller in the medical center last year and she looked so delightful and we talked a while and I got to tell her how much she meant to me in my teenage years....I love you all......

Always,

Hazel Tyler Ramsey

Dear Mrs. Miller: It was a pleasure knowing you, your kindness, warmth and loving spirit shone through despite your pain. You always made us feel welcome at all family gatherings, and took the time to ask about those of us who could not attend. I will never forget you. And as my young daughter said, it is hard when the death happens in your family, it hits home even harder. You have become part of my family. May you rest peacefully and lovingly in the bosom of our Lord.

Dear Family,

Because that's the way I think of you. Wilma was like a mother (AKA - Play Mom) to me in many ways and played a important part in many phases of my life.

You will be greatly missed and I'm glad that I was one of the fortunate ones whom life you greatly impacted.

I pray that God will comfort each member of the family, extended family, and all who loved and admired such a wonderful woman and role model.

Family, when you feel the sorrow and pain from this loss think of her words "I'm ok" and that beautiful smile. Because we now know that she really is.

Love Ya All,

Martha Williamson

MOTHER is a word called LOVE
And all the world is mindful of
The love that's given and shown to others
Is different from THE LOVE OF MOTHERS...
For Mothers play the leading roles
In giving birth to little souls,
For though "small souls" are heaven-sent
And we realize they're only lent,
It takes a Mother's loving hands
And her gentle heart that understands
To mold and shape this little life
And shelter it through storm and strife...
No other love than MOTHER LOVE
Could do the things required of
The one to whom God gives the keeping
Of HIS wee lambs, awake or sleeping,-
So Mothers are a "special race"
God sent to earth to take His place,
And MOTHER is a lovely name
That even SAINTS are proud to claim.

--Helen Steiner Rice

Thank you Mother for everything. I love you and will miss you greatly.
