Dick, Bill, Joe, Mary, I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Edythes passing. I loved her so much she was an amazing person, who loved the Lord with all her heart and I always loved to be around her and Uncle Virgil, I know they are having a wonderful reunion in heaven. I love all of you and will be praying for you. God Bless You!

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Edythe Miller. She will be remembered joyfully by many people. Throughout her life, she exhibited a love for God that has been evident in all that she did. God Bless each of you.##imported-begin##Lori Sanders##imported-end##
Comfort and joy comes from knowing with such surety that Aunt Edythe was saved long before she passed and that her life was a living testimony, dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ. Many holidays spent in Longview were made truly special through the love and hospitality of Virgil and Edythe. It is fitting that my best memories were of Easter, at their home, where we celebrated the resurrection power. I loved Aunt Edythe and am looking forward to listening to her Choir for Ages to come. Supporting her wishes, a gift in Aunt Edyth's name, from all the Phillips and Hoffmans, is being made to the Mobberly Baptist Church Music Ministry to continue the choir's excellent mnistry.##imported-begin##Kirk, Tracy, Grant and Grace Phillips##imported-end##
I have fond memories of visiting Edyth and Virgil as a child, when my great-grandmother, Ida Johnson, lived with them. I remember being fascinated with an oil fountain, and thought that I must have a very rich Aunt and Uncle to have such a "fancy thing" in their own house. I especially remember bragging to my friends that I had a relative that had made an album. I loved showing everyone the album cover, but hoped my friends would never ask to actually hear the album. It just wan't "cool," at least not to a teenager. Edyth will be missed, and I wish we could be there with all of you. Hopefully we can have a family reunion soon under much happier circumstances. Our prayers are with your family.##imported-begin##Cheryl Phillips Hoffman & Family##imported-end##
We wish we could be there for all of you but please know our love and prayers are with you. Our lives were spiritually enriched by Edythe. She taught us to love our hymns and all music. Our fond memories of her will never be forgotten.
Love to you all,

Dear Mary,
My heart goes out to you during this difficult time in your life. I'll be praying for you diligently. In the book of Psalms it says God is near to the brokenhearted. I'll be praying that God would strengthen you and hold you closer than ever.
Love in Christ,

I am so sorry to hear that your Mother has passed away. But, we all know she is singing in that beautiful choir in heaven. Your mother meant so much to so many people. I loved her dearly, and am thankful that I had such a wonderful role model to look up to when I was growing up in Mobberly Avenue. She sang at all our weddings and funerals of our loved ones - and what a beautiful voice she had! She was truly one of the finest people I ever knew, and you are blessed to have such an example to grow up by! I was hoping I could come to the funeral or to the viewing this evening - but I do not get off work in Dallas until 5:30 and by the time I got out of Dallas and got there it would be over. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you say good-by for today - we will all meet again in our heavenly home!
