Nancy (Brewer) Buckles - I was so sorry to read about Jim's passing. I used to live on East 15h St. when the Millers lived on East 16th St. We moved out into the country when I was nine, but I was good friends with Berniece and was one of Wilma's nurses before she died. Your mother, Mrs. Miller, was a wonderful person. She and Mr. Miller were very good parents. Jim was older than me but I remember him as being a very nice young man. Look to the One Who Cares For Him Now. Nancy.
