I was startled to see in the Washington Post obituaries today Steph's lovely face, and even more amazed to see that she was 100. I worked for Bill
from 1960 to 1964, including the famous campaign,
so I had the opportunity to know her and the children. This has brought back many memories and now there is no one left of the Miller staff or campaign to share them with.

My sincere sympathy to all the family.

My deepest sympathy to Stephanie and her family. Your mom reminded me so much of my own with the same health challenges and her age was the same. Even though I only know you thru your radio show I can tell there was a lot of love for her and I believe she loved you as strongly right until the end.

I was so sorry to learn of Mrs. Miller's death. I enjoy Stephanie Jr's radio show and have followed her mother's health concerns, as well as the many humorous anecdotes, she's shared there.
Along with my condolences, I send wishes of peace and comfort to Mrs. Miller's adoring family.
A mother's love is eternal.

Stephanie, thank you for your daughter. Her radio show sustained me during my own mom's battle with dementia. All of my love to those whom had to let you go, and thank you for having been here.
