Heartfelt Condolences
To Ken and Audrey’s Family,
I send the Weyerman Family my heartfelt condolences. I got adopted into the Miller Clan through my marriage to Barbara Miller Hardy on 19 December 1964. The Miller Clan adopted me completely and I got to enjoy being part of the annual Labor Day Family Reunion for many years. The reunion was the highlight of Barb’s and my yearly activities. I got to enjoy being part of an extended family and learn to love each and every member of the Miller Clan. You all taught me the values of being a part of a large family and to love each and every member of that family. I know that Ken has joined Audrey in Heaven and is again holding her hand. I also believe my Barb was with Audrey at the Gates of Heaven to welcome Ken as he crossed the bar. Sending you all much love from my family and pray that Our Lord grant you His peace - the peace that surpasses all understanding - as you grieve the passing of a wonderful Christian man. Blessings.
Len Hardy
