Always loved the. Millers Sharon Miller was my best friend growing up spent
many days at Polly and A.L.Miller’s home. They were all special people. Loved to hear Mary and Bob sing.
All of them were special.
Several years ago I was teacher in Sunday School where Mary attended. On one particular morning I was having a difficult time , don’t remember why but Mary got up and put her arm around me and said “Ladies we need to pray”and we prayed. I will always remember her sweet spirit. So sorry for your loss.
