From Lela Conley and Cynthia Conley Our condolences to the Miller Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family. Your Conley cousins in Chicago IL

My condolences to my Miller cousins. I was saddened to learn about Jettie May's passing. I last saw her in 2014 and spoke with her briefly. Please Miller cousins accept my thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Jettie Mae Miller While there is no way we can feel your pain we do feel your loss of your sister. It's so difficult to lose a family member while it's been years since I saw her but I still remember the talks that we had when she and I would work together at the candy store that her parents had I really looked forward to visiting Arkansas and working in big mamma candy store they were loving people. Peace and love to you and your family during this sorrowful time I'm praying for the whole family.

Tracy Harris from Kansas City, Mo

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Eph 6:10

To the Miller Family, our prayer and sympathy are with the family, May God keep you in his loving arms. Pastor George & Mary Harvell

I loved Jettie like a sister. Back in 1972 she invited me to know the Jesus she knew. I have not been the same since. A few years ago I found her again on line. I would call her every Wednesday night and we would talk about everything from best teaching practices to the meaning of scriptures. I have always been a bit in awe of Jettie. She exuded a quiet confidence born out of knowing Jesus Christ. She knew I was a spirit-filled Roman Catholic with a black heart. I "heard" her smile over the phone when I told her that I walked with The Black Lives Matter group here in Gloucester, Virginia. A couple of years ago Jim and I stopped by her house to visit..first time in over forty years. Billy and Vi came by..great to see them again. Years ago we were all part of a group that prayed together in which the gifts of the Spirit were manifested. Recently, when I asked about a scripture, she would have me read what came before and after to be sure I had the context! She showed me how to live and prepare for my journey home to God. I asked her to reach down and pull me into heaven when God called. I know she will...on that I can depend. Much love to all the family. I weep with you but rejoice for her. In Christ, Mary Lou Fogarty, Phd PS...special thanks to Charlesetta, Billy and Stephanie for treating me like family.

I remember Jettie making a skirt for me for choir. Big Mama was always talking about being active in the church. I didn't know that Jettie could sew. She told me to get the material and she made it for me. A very sweet lady.

So very sorry for your loss. Praying for all of the family. Kathey Heflin Garey

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
