Mr. Miller, you and your wife have been so endearing to us in this community. I have such fond memories of walking to the store on Lagonda Ave, then later in life taking my daughter out to odd lots for cotton candy. I finally married into your family and was very pleased to know that I am somehow related to such good people, my husbands gr grandma Miller is Lawrence aunt. My prayers are with your wife and rest of the family to keep you comforted in this time of loss.
