Week 61: IN LOVING MEMORY OF DERALD EUGENE MILLER

Derald Eugene Miller was born on January 3, 1921 in Magrath, Alberta and he passed away on January 29th, 2019 in Magrath, Alberta at 98 years old. 

It was comforting that we were able to feel a little like we were there at the funeral and family gathering with the help of What’sApp Voice and Video.


Our son Derald Martin Miller and his oldest son Derald James Miller were able to travel to Canada to attend the funeral.

Our next generations of “Deralds” are seen here below sitting in one of Grandpa Derald’s chairs in his kitchen in Raymond, Alberta Canada Jan. 29, 2019
Derald James, Derald Martin, Charlotte McConkie and George McConkie above were captured in Grandpa’s livining room.  It is wonderful to have a photo of two of our children who were able to travel  together at a time of honoring their grandfather.It was amazing the temperatures in Canada were record lows but they thawed out quickly when they returned home. 

Rebecca hosted at her home a wonderful morning in Utah where her family and Monica’s family could attend together via WhatsApp.  Brock and his family were also able to share in the memories.

Robert and I were gathered by What’s app as were our other children.  
Record breaking cold…burrrr  temperatures at gravesite.  Derald Eugene Miller’s children….Janice Miller, Cameron Miller, Sharon Miller and Kevin Miller at Temple Hill Cemetery. (Robert Miller in Indonesia)


Robert and I are pictured here on the other side of the world in Indonesia. We felt the loss deeply when we learned the news of his fathers passing.  We had just spoken on the phone two days before he passed and had a wonderful conversation with Grandpa Miller!  Our life on earth is an opportunity and a blessing to have joy and prepare to return to God’s presence.  We know that there was a great reunion of Roberts mother and father in the spirit world.  Because of Jesus Christ we will all be resurrected, receive salvation and can live with God as families.
