Barb,
So sorry to hear about your dad. I'll always cherish his hugs and ornery disposition. The hay rides would not have been the same had he not been there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With Sympathy
My condolences to the entire Miller family. I have such fond memories of Mr. Miller, and he has a special place in my heart.
I remember heading out from the farm on Saturday mornings to go fox-hunting with my pony in Mr. Miller's trailer and me in the car with Mr. Miller. We had a routine on Saturday mornings when he hauled my pony to the hunt. I always enjoyed traveling with Mr. Miller to the hunt field.
Mr. Miller was very kind to us. He would stay back from the hunt field and help us get our ponies over a fence, ditch, or creek -- and often helped us stay out of trouble as we were growing up.
I fondly remember the times we re-lived a fox-hunt, cross country rides, or horse difficulties while having coffee or tea at the farmhouse. He was a dear person, and a good friend. We were fortunate to have him as fried. He will be missed.
Our Deepest Sympathies
Barb, Steve, Stevie and the entire Family,
We are so sorry to hear about "Pops" passing. We have so many happy memories of him up at the house and the pool. He was always puttering around, busy doing something, and then he would look up at you and give you that special grin. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Joey and Nancy

Dear Barb, I was so sorry to
Dear Barb,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. When I hear hounds running around Buddy's and in the park, I always know Lawrence is out there somewhere on that wild little mare that suited him so well. I hope you and your family can find some consolation knowing he's comfortable now and I'm pretty sure he is foxhunting with friends he knows and loves.
your friend
Sue
