    Will miss you cousin. I have many fond memories of visiting Uncle Butch and Aunt Vera and cousin Gerald giving me my first bus ride.

    Lynne, thank you for sharing your memory. Dad enjoyed great health until his last weeks and enjoyed sharing stories of the extended Miller Family. He found much happiness in his marriage to Judy and life in Hot Springs Village, where I plan to retire in 9 years. Please extend my greetings to your family. Love, Leah

    Rick, thank you for your comforting words. I was blessed to have a wonderful relationship with Dad these past 5 years, even having he and Judy live with me in Pontiac following Judy's kidney transplant. I will miss him deeply but treasure the memories. Blessings, Leah

    Claudia, thank you for signing the guestbook. Dad found great happiness in his later years with Judy and their life in Hot Springs Village, where I eventually plan to retire. I still have found memories of your grandmother in Verona; life has come full circle in my ministry as I am the district superintendent of Verona (I supervise the pastor and church along with 78 other pastors and 98 other United Methodist Churches in the area. Blessings, Leah Pogemiller
