I have always felt a part of the Miller family from the first day at the Miller House on Ballentine Boulevard Norfolk. Helen Miller Davis introduced me to the Miller household January 1945 when I was 19 years old. Arthur and Helen Hyman Miller lived on Little Creek Road when Jean was born. Her arrival was announced at the house and it was quite an exciting time. Our hearts go out to her children and family, her sister Karen and brother Lee, all the grandchildren, cousins, and relatives. We are so sorry for your loss and our condolences to you all.
