Three Miller Men and a Lady




A couple of weeks ago we got the sad news that Cookies Grandma was dying, so that evening we drove to the hospital to pay our respect but unfortunitly we missed her by 20 minutes. We had the oppurtunity to take Aunt Maryanne to dinner and learn more about Grandma Miller as a mom. Its sad that generally speaking we learn the most about people at their funerals. Grandma Miller was an amazing quilter, baker and chef. She taught English at her kids high school and would spend her lunch with uncle Jim. She was also an avid reader and we actually share a favorite book Withering Hights. The service was lovely lots of funny stories and beautiful music. There was also an unintentional imprompto gathering at Idle Isle chocolate store after the grave side service (another tribute to Grandma she LOVED their chocolates). It was great to meet Cookie's miller family for the first time. We also had the chance to introduce K-Man for the first time to Cookies dad Rob and very special lady friend Roxanne (The tall drink of water in the two bottom pictures)
