I had the pleasure of getting to know Frieda and her wonderful husband, Abe, on their many visits to New York City to spend time with their daughter, Sybil. I always looked forward to seeing the Millers in NYC, because they brought with them an infectious zest for life. And was I ever lucky because Frieda never failed to bring along a generous supply of her delicious rugalach that she always shared with my parents, Pat and Bill Taylor, and me!
Frieda and Abe looked at New York with a wide-eyed enthusiasm that made me appreciate the big city even more than I already did. It was only when I made my first trip to Bangor that I got to see them in the environment that brought them such joy and contentment. It all made sense to me. How blessed for them to have lived in such an idyllic place, and how fortunate for Bangor to have had such angels in their midst. And how lucky for me to have shared in the very special small-town values they brought with them to the Big Apple.

I sure will miss my great Aunt Frieda.
She was a big inspiration to me. I'm glad I had a chance to tell her. We had some incredible "heart to heart" conversations after our cardiac events.

People who wondered about the friendship of my mother, Doris Striar, with Frieda, assuming they were so different from each other, simply did not know them. They enjoyed each other’s company immensely and had great respect for each other. Among the many qualities they shared was that neither of them suffered fools gladly.
Your mother called my mother every day from the day my father died until my mother died herself, except when my mother was with us.
But it was not for that alone that my family loved and admired Frieda Miller. Many of her admirable and unique qualities will be testified to today at her funeral. Stories about Frieda will be told this week and for decades to come. We can only hope that people will be inspired by who she was and try to emulate her.
She will be very much missed.
Sincerely,
Myles Striar

When as a young boy I visited my grandparents on Forest Avenue, my grandmother, Frances Campbell, would invariably mention "Frieda" as one of the best people in the neighborhood. When I was sent around the corner on an errand to get something at the store, I was told to be sure to ask for and say hello to Frieda. I did so, and from then on, I was treated like a prince when I entered that store. She was such a pleasure.

Dear Billy and Family,
I was sorry to learn that "Aunt Frieda" passed away this week. Growing up in Bangor, in and out of Emy's house nearly as often as my own, she felt like my Aunt Frieda, too, and I remember her (and her macaroons) with fondness.
May her memory be for a blessing,
.

To the Family & Friends of Mrs. Miller
My thoughts & prayers are with you all right now! I have many fond memories of Frieda from when I worked at Bangor City Hospital, now known as Bangor Nursing & Rehab Center. Frieda was my guidance as I learned my new job way back then. I had my two girls when I worked there and Frieda just adored them! I now work at Phillips-Strickland House and this past summer I did visit with Frieda, she asked all about my little girls who are now all grown up & in college. Frieda will always hold a special place in my heart.
~thinking of you~

Billy and family, Frieda was the heart of our family. Without her and your Dad, my parents would not have met, married and had their business stay afloat during hard times. My brothers and I also had some hand-me-downs from your Mom. I have such warm. wonderful memories of sitting at the bar at the drugstore. My Dad had coffee everyday about 4:30. I would join him. Your Mom always made sure I had some "NABS" to eat along side Dad. Your parents were there for my Mom when my Dad died and were always such a comfort to our family. Frieda was definitely a part of our lives and we will miss her greatly every day. Much love Nancy(Miller)Pickelhaupt, Ginny Miller, Ron, and Ricky Miller

Bill and family ~ My sincere condolensces on the loss of Freida. I remember her from my childhood when my Mom and I would go into the store. Then over the years as we all grew older together more fond memories. She always had a smile and something fun to say. It is a shame the values and work ethic she taught and lived by are not more prolific today. I am honored to have know this wonderful woman and your family. My heart goes out to you in your loss. She was a wonderful lady, a gem of Bangor and her legecy will long be remembered.

Bill and Family,
Your mother was a true original and will be sorely missed by the community and her family and friends. I always enjoyed seeing her in the store and out. I remember being directed to meet with her when I ran for City Council in the early 80's and how important her support and counsel were for me during my term in city government. My condolences to the family, but take comfort in the fact of a full life, well lived. Ken
