My husband and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Miles. We would like to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives. John 11:14-44 shares with us the experience of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth before the very eyes of those he loved. 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.

My heart dropped when I heard about Miles! He was one of a kind and was great to be around. I remember when he first got to New Hampton. It didn’t take long for him to fit in with everyone! I had a great talk with him back in September reminiscing about the old times. He will be deeply missed! My heart goes out to Paula, Brad, and Craig! You will be in my thoughts and prayers! My sincerest sympathy, Lori

This loss saddens me deeply, Miles was a special person that came to New Hampton at a special time for many and because of his intelligence, sense of humor, and ability to fit into any group, he was a welcomed addition. My memories are few, but fond. He is a person that made an impression, and for that he will always be remembered. My family’s thoughts and prayers are directed towards Paula, Craig’s family, Brad, and any family I have left out. RIP Miles!!
