GHUCK & FRAN=MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND FAMILY ==
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Miller Family.
George possessed one of the most creative minds I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. His story telling was always exciting and beautiful. Adding to this, he was an exceptional farmer and steward of the land. I’m thankful that I had the great pleasure of knowing this remarkable man and I will miss him. My deepest sympathies to all.
I’m so sorry to hear this news. I graduated high school with George and I will always think of him with a smile. He was a bright and funny guy and everyone liked him. Our prayers are with the family.
Deepest sympathies to the Miller family.
