The Miller family has been intertwined with the Auld family for almost 60 years. We have shared many fun and sweet times, and we all have been together when life was hard. Bill and Betty- Bill and Estelle had a unique friendship over the many years. They travelled together, did church work together, and in general lived life out together. What a great gift.
Mr. Miller was present in my life for many years... he was my good friend, Derrell's father. He was my scout troop leader. He was my first boss when I was a bag boy at Colonial grocery store. He was faithful member of Suber Marshall where I grew up. He was my dad's best friend. So most of my first 25 years or so, Mr. Miller was present and a part of it. I am thankful for that.
He knew how to have fun. I remember one halloween when Mr. and Mrs. Miller dressed up like Beauty and the Beast and came to try to scare the youth group at church. He also though wasn't afraid to show his emotions. Mr. and Mrs. Miller tenderly cared for my parents as they were dying . They honestly grieved along with our family. He lived his life well and those around have been blessed.
One is blessed to have good parents, but then extra blessings are added when one has other father and mother types to guide, love and encourage like Mr. and Mrs. Miller. I am so thankful for how God intertwined the Miller and Auld family. My life has been much richer for it.
