The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

Dear family, there are no words that can be said in a time like this that will ease your pain. You can only face tomorrow with memmories of Reddog that everyone knew and loved. They say time will heal, but you only ease the pain day by day. Rusty remember your big brother in every way that he was good to you. Keep those memmories in your heart and when you get so sad take one of them out. Laugh about the good times you've had. We wish the best for each of you and our love and prayers are with you. Love, Sandra wall (Ben miller grandmother) and Brandi Miller (Ben Miller sister). Thank you for everything y'all have done for my grandson Ben.
