On behalf of the family of Mary E. Miller, we thank the congregation for
your support: through the use of facilities for both the viewing and funeral,
for the food committee’s provision of food for our family during those events,
as well as the many cards, prayers and words of comfort during our time of
loss. Mother was ready to go, wanting to
go, and we are grateful that she did not suffer. We will miss her tremendously, but have the
peace that she is in a much better place and rejoicing with many who have gone
on before. Thank you for you generosity
and kindness. – Bill & Linda Miller, Marilyn & Fred Schwartz, and Mandy
& Joe Yoder .
