Jamie & family:  I was so sorry to hear about 'Grandma Miller'.  My prayers are with you.  Remember you will always have her memories in your heart.       Vickie Deam
 
Memories in the Heart
Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She'd hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times, and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you
 
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart

Grandma Miller always made me feel welcome, as if I was a part of the Miller family. Even though I am only an extension to the family.
 
My first invitation to the annual plow days was a great reminder to me how very important and special family is. She welcomed myself and my children and we felt loved.
 
I recall helping in the garden that she tended to so well.
 
She was loved by many and will be missed by all.

Jackie-
 
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.  I too lost my mother right before Christmas last year and it is tough.  Please remember the good times to get throught this time period.  I will be thinking and praying for you and your family.
