Bob was a vital and cherished member of our Men's Bible study group at Fern Creek Christian. He always had something unique and relevant to what was being discussed, and his love for Jesus and his love for our group was tangible to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We will miss him terribly but know that he is rejoicing with Carol and the rest of his family in heaven. He finished strong, and he finished well, and we are all better people for having known him!

Mr. Miller will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to all his family. I had visited Mr. Miller many times as a part of Southeast Christian Church's Pastoral Ministries Visitation team and was always so blessed by his love for our Lord and his longing to see his wife Carol again. I will miss our visits, though I know he is rejoicing in Heaven!
