Hello Elise, this came up in my old work address and of course I am glad to be reminded of all the great times I enjoyed with Grant - and you. He was really someone special to me because of his wisdom about recovery and his caring for me. Let's talk soon. Sending love and hugs to you. Laura

It is unusual for a person gifted with incisive intelligence to be, at the same time, both gentle and kind. The dry wit for which Grant was justly celebrated is often more than a little too sharp for the comfort of those around him.
Our friend Grant Miller was certainly intelligent and was justly celebrated for his incisive humor and dry wit; but he was, more than anything else, kind. What in another person could have been a sharp edge was in Grant clarity of perception. He could and did make judgments about what was going on in the world. But the lasting effect in our minds is deep understanding, not acerbity.
We are grateful to have known this remarkable man and only wish he had been with us all for "four score and ten."
No one could have had better and more compassionate care than that lovingly given by Elise to Grant during the process of his passing from us.
Sharon and I love them both and are grateful that they are, and will both remain, part of our lives.

Aaron and Elise, You know how much I cared for Grant and how my life was enriched by his love and never ending hope for my life. I will always miss him, but am grateful for all he gave me.

With his gimlet eye for the human foible, Grant was the gold standard for dry humor -- a rare and precious thing. He will truly be missed.

My condolences to Grant's family. Grant and I were good friends for many years, having been room-mates and Senate employees starting in 1963.
