To the Miller Family,
We are saddened by the loss of your mom and brother this year. We fondly remember the wonderful times shared during your summer camping trips in Northern Michigan. Your mom was such a spirited person with a great personality and wonderful smile. She did a nice job raising all of you boys! We think of all you often and want you to know that you are in our prayers. If you're ever in Northen Michigan, please stop by.
The Sulisz Family

Clarace always made me laugh, because when she heard a joke she liked. She wrote it down and pulled it out when she wanted to tell it. She was a wonderful women

For Clarace
The day is dark and sad with news of your departure
Where has all the time gone?
What happened to the laughter?
Too soon it is time to say goodbye
To the earthly form we know
We were not ready for you to die
We stand and kneel and sing and pray
With emotion all asunder
Together, God brought us here today
And so we go in quiet contemplation
A mother has left us
What will be of the next generation?
We will hold you near and dear in our hearts
Remembering you always
As each new day starts
We will look for the hummers a favorite of yours
Remembering your courage
Knowing that you now soar
The wings of freedom are yours to enjoy
A world with no suffering
A world full of joy.

My condolences to the Miller Family. I didn't know your Mom real well, other than she was your Mom and that says enough.
May God be with her & you.
Sincerely, Bill Keselowski

To the Miller Family, May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) Take care,
