Thank you so much for sending me this. It’s beautiful as much as it is sad. I will be joining you and saying goodbye to our wonderful Craig.
❤️
Mr Miller was a joy to care for. I got to know him well and tried to give him the kind of care like that of an Ole friend. We sang songs and enjoyed Tom Petty and Rush. We would pretend that just about any kind of business started with the Miller name. We would just laugh and play like two young lads
He brightened every day I worked with him. Im grateful to God for having him and his son Chris in my life. Rest in Peace Mr Miller in Miller Mansion on Miller Cloud perhaps having a Miller beer. 😄
Thank you for your kind words, Gregory. You made Craig laugh and he very much enjoyed listening to music with you.
Uncle Craig was always fun to be around
He shared the keen sense of humor that his parents and siblings had. Fond memories of cruising to the Jersey shore in Merles convertible one summer. We were both big fans OF MAD magazine and it’s satirical look at human foibles. Craig was a gentle soul with a twinkle in his eye….
Mr. Miller was a pleasure to work for. I really enjoyed working and caring for him. I cared for him, the way I would like to be cared for. We laughed and enjoyed watching our Netflix series. Matlock and the Lincoln Lawyer were two of our favorite series we love to watch. He also taught me so much about tennis. Football Sundays was one of our favorites as well. I will miss him dearly. I’m glad that I was able to be a wonderful advocate for him. I’m grateful to God for putting me in his life. Along with his son Chris and daughter Angela. Continue to rest in paradise Mr. Miller. Until we meet again❤️🙏🏽🪽
Angela, thank you for your kind words. Chris and I really appreciate the way you cared for Craig, and the energy and enthusiasm you brought into his home.
I cared for Mr Craig overnight and enjoyed talking to him. He was such a pleasant person. I enjoyed watching football and tennis with him. It was hard to watch him take his last breath but I thank God he place me there to be with him. Rest on Mr Craig I will truly miss you 😘
Sarah, thank you for your kind words. It was a blessing that he was with someone he knew at his final moments. We thank you for being there for him.
Chris was the best son. His love for his Dad was so genuine. Angela was such a blessing to him also. He was so bless to have y’all.
