Bill was a man who cared. He so loved his family.
In the 40 years I have known Bill, from a boy to a man, he left his loving mark on the hearts of so many, including my husband. After spending time with him at our friend Dee and Johns home, we left and walked to our home, Bill came out of the house and my husband turned to me and said,’Now there is a young man who is going to make a difference in this life.’ My husband had a gift of seeing the heart in people. Over the years watching him and the love he shared thru his actions, with his Mother, then his Sue, his family, friends, his neighbors, and his animals, I knew my husband had been right about Bill.
Yes I had the privilege of watching and experiencing this loving son of my friend Lori and Richard Miller. I’ll never forget him. Thank you Bill for touching my heart.
Love you all dear Miller family.
