We would like to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives.

We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too are reunited with our dear loved ones. (John 5:28,29) Miles will surely be missed by many of those who’s lives he shared, remember the experiences you shared together and learn from them, hold them close to your heart and cherish them. May you find comfort from those who surround you at this very difficult time. Our sincere condolences to all of you.
