Dave, our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Dee and Dave lived in the same neighborhood as Aunt Mabel, during many visits we would stop by for a wonderful chat. Dee and Dave are also part of the same church family, we were aisle buddies. Dee always had such a bright smile and positive energy; we will miss her dearly. May you find comfort in memories and peace in knowing your friends are sharing in your sorrow.

I first met Dee in 1973, when I was privileged to have Dee as an instructor while doing my Student Teaching at Westchester School. What an impact Dee had on my teaching and personal life! The most important thing I learned from Dee was , whatever you do, do it from the heart.
My condolences and prayers to all of the Miller family.
