Today God took another one of his blessed children to be with him, my Aunt Maxine Geraldine Fortner Miller. Aunt Jerry would have been 93 in December. Please say extra big prayers for her family and friends as they pass her off to the Lord and she joins her Husband Paulx and other family members. She is no longer in pain and she will be smiling down on all of us. We Love and miss you Aunt Gerri XOXOXO - Sharon Miller - Niece
