Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Praying for your family. I wish you many warm memories that will make you smile for many years to come.

  2. I met Mr. Miller several years ago when he was in Dallas, visiting his daughter Cheryl, he was a very quiet and seemingly gentle man. Cheryl and I have worked together for several years and she always spoke fondly of her Dad, I know he will be missed by family and friends. Please take comfort in knowing he is in a much better place now and pain free. My prayers are with him and his family. Pat Peavy

  3. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. This is a difficult time for you and your family. You have my very deepest sympathy. Take comfort in knowing he's no longer suffering. Please know I am here should you require someone to listen or need anything done. You have been a blessing in my many years of working with you and have consistently been there when I suffered losses. Xavier Thomas, III

  4. My deep condolences to the family for your recent loss. Please find comfort in what God has promised for our loved ones who have died. At John 5:28, 29, he assures us, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." That means you can look forward to the hope of seeing James again when Jehovah God brings him back to life. I hope this helps you to be able to cope with your loss.
