Heartfelt sympathy on the untimely passing of your loved one, Ward Miller. I met him many years ago when he worked at the Wachovia on Country Club Rd.in Winston-Salem. Saw him every two weeks or so. Then later he moved downtown. Though I haven't seen him in years, would like to say he was a wonderful , caring person, a good , decent guy who tried to help others. You were fortunate to have had him as a family member or a friend. May the Lord Bless & Protect You, Clarke Williams;Lewisville, N.C.

Love you.
