Hopie, so sorry for the loss of your brother. My condolences go out to Chip’s family, and friends..
So sorry for Your loss, Chip was a Great Guy. May He R.I.P.
We were so saddened to read of Chip’s passing. Although we didn’t have a close relationship with him, we lived a (hefty) stone’s throw from the foot of his driveway and would wave if seeing him out on his mower or in his car. It is comforting to know he is now with the Lord and he is happy. Our sincere condolences to the family; may the Lord help you all through this difficult time. May God’s blessings be with you, C.J. & Patti Reece
To the family of Chip Miller:
Please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Chip. May he rest in peace. May the loving memories you have of him live on in your hearts and bring you comfort.
Love and prayers.

My prayers are with Chip’s family at this time of grief and loss. I was blessed to be Chip’s pastor and friend for the six years, while serving FAUMC. I recall the many visits and conversations we enjoyed while walking part of the journey with Chip and Shirley, and her long time of recovery. Chip was always reliable and helpful, especially as concerned any needs his congregation may have had. Chip, rest in peace, and may your memory always be a blessing!
Gene and I are so sad about Chip’s passing. He was always so friendly and kind . Prayers of comfort for all the family. But knowing that he is resting peacefully now is a blessing.
