Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss. Mrs. Miller and my Mother were neighbors at Carillon for several years and my mother and I developed a special bond with her. Mrs. Miller and Mom often shared stories about their faith and family. I always enjoyed her cordial greeting and warm smile even when I knew she was in pain. In late summer and early fall, I take a variety of native grapes to Mom. Mom would always tell me that Mrs. Miller enjoyed grapes as much as she did….and Mom loves grapes! My Mom experienced a tremendous loss when Mrs. Miller left Carillon but felt God would be with her wherever she went.
Again, our thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Ron and Beverly, such treasured memories I have of your family while growing up in Cliffside. Your Dad and Mom became close friends to us and we thoroughly had grand times camping with the whole Talbert, Biggerstaff, Tarleton and Miller clan. I can still taste your mom's "sock soup." You did somehow survive being the only boy with that crowd of girls!!! Your mom was such a dear person and it has been special to me to have corresponded with her over the years and to share my children and grandchildren with her. She certainly loved you and Beverly and was always writing about you in her letters. Treasure your memories. In love and prayer,
Alta B. Aldrich, Belmont, North Carolina

I am so sorry for yours and my loss I loved Dorthy as though she was my Mom she will always hold a special place in my heart and I really enjoyed the time I spent with her at Carillon while I was there and being able to help take care of her she was special to me above all the rest. God sure has gained a very special angel Love in
Christ you will always be in my prayers and God will comfort you until we see her in Heaven

Rev Ron Setzer

Ron, Beverly I just want you both to know what a blessing your Mom was to Brenda and I during our ministry there at Bethel. She was such a tower of strength and love-it was truly the love of God from her own heart. I thank you for her memories that she has left with us. God bless you during these days. We found out last night at Bible Study that Gilbert and your mom served here at Pleasant Grove as well. This church sends their love and prayers.
