Doris, Cathy and Mike . I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one ! My Dad ( Phil Martin ) Jake’s Cousin , was also in Miller’s and passed away this year in March.
It always hurts when we loose someone we love dearly but I know he is in a better place and no longer suffers. He and my Dad can get together and fish and catch up and tell stories . I hope and pray you will find peace in knowing he himself is at peace now! God Bless you all and may he give you strength in your time of need !
