Dear Kim, Tim, Connie, and Todd

I can easily visualize your Mom's humorous smile and hear her frequent laugh from my four years of working at Treasure Island, from 1976 - 1980. I got to know your Mom better when I "graduated" from cart boy to working evenings in the Men's Department. Yes, your Mom worked very hard! (I did my best to complete her list of tasks she would leave for me each evening.)

May the loving memories that each one of you holds close to you...help to light your path in the days to come.

Please accept my condolences. May the family be strengthened by Jesus' words at John 6:40.

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I had a lot of fond memories with her and Buzz when they would visit in Potter. We pray for God's blessings and healing for your family at this time.

I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. It's never easy losing your Mom. What a wonderful Lady, I shared many conversations with her in church as well as many childhood memories at the Miller home. Please know you are in our Thoughts and Prayers.
