It's really no words to say at a difficult time like this except we all will have to do as Mr. Miller has done and that's live life and transition to the next life I know that he was a great man because he raised a beautiful daughter, Armonda Shay Woodson and she has shown all of the morals and love that he instilled in her so I say to her he may be gone but he will never be forgotten Momma Jackie and your Tax Nation Family
