Guestbook

  1. Our condolence goes out to the Miller family in the death of Ms. Miller Johnathan Ryan Miller ,Cedric Devon Green and Pamela Gibson.

  2. Dear Bennie and Family We will surely miss Mrs. Miller for all her many contributions to St. Matthias over many years. It was my pleasure to sit in a pew near the Miller Family and sing and pray with the former Senior Warden and his Family. LOL , Bennie, Boys, and all. “Grant her eternal rest in the Kingdom with her Savior.”

  3. My prayers are with you all. I’ll never forget Mamas great spirit of hospitality. Continue to love the way that she did and this world will be a better place.

  4. I will forever cherish the times we had as neighbors on Courtland. My love and sympathy to Bennie and all the children !!

  5. I remember how you would get up early in the mornings and prepare breakfast for everyone. You’d make you a cup of coffee and sit in your favorite chair.

    Then you’d cross your legs, you’d have slippers on… and you’d cut on your favorite soap operas. And we’d sit and watch the soaps and talk and laugh.

    I’m grateful for these moments. I will cherish every memory with you always. This is not a goodbye but a see you later. I love you Mawmaw.

  6. May God bring peace and comfort, as HE carries you through, during this time of sorrow!
    Remembering you in prayer..
    My Deepest Sympathy
