Kris, I´m reminiscing about your humor, intelligence, business savvy, and those smooth dance moves you displayed on the dance floor. You were always there to assist people when you saw the need.

What a wonderful gift to humanity you are. There is only one Kris Miles. Thank you for allowing me to be called your friend. You are truly missed.
RIP/Rest in Power.

Kris Devos Miles. Not a day goes by without thoughts of you. I began each day by kissing your picture and the pictures of the rest of family in the heavenly realm. I miss our brother and sister thing we had. Nothing can replace that bond. I love you, I miss you and you rest here in my heart. Your Blade, Lulu.

Kris, I was told by one of our siblings that you and I could have been twins. We had such a beautiful bond. I kiss your picture every day along with our sister Rosemary and our parents, who are now with you in the heavenly realm. I miss most of all our talks filled with so much laughter. It was remarkable how you could laugh so easily at your self as you often time said "I'm going to keep rumbling" and you did. You loved life and life loved you. You left quite a legacy and I am so proud of you for being the person that you were. Life will never be the same without you however I know you are in God's hands and that is where you belong. Love you!

To The Miles Family:
My sincere condolences to you. I had the pleasure of knowing Kris over the years; he was my brother in spirit. Long periods would go by without seeing him but he always dispensed the medicine I needed to be uplifted: 1 cup of his infectious smile & several cups of jokes! Oh, & he always mocked how I spoke...he said I was too proper! Lol! You're with us in spirit. Give them some laughs up there at the big house called HEAVEN!
