“In loving memory of Joan Miller, I send you thoughts of peace and courage. Our Great-Aunt Jo was truly a remarkable lady. She was a leader and gave so much to others. It is never easy to say goodbye to those we love so dearly. I know in my heart that she is with her loving husband and those who have passed on. She will be watching over her beloved daughters and their families. May you always feel her presence, along with Uncle Bill, whenever you need them most. My deepest sympathy. Carol”
