When Jim and I signed Michael up to play ball at Grandview 6 years ago, we thought we were doing just that-signing him up to play ball. Little did we know we were extending our family by hundereds.

During this tragic time of Jim's death Michael and I have felt so much love and support it is unbelievable. That love and support has enabled us to at least try and cope.

Our Grandview family has helped us go on. Micheal has been able to focus on somehting other than his grief and the hugs and kind words have helped me deal with everything else.

You guys are truly amazing. Each and every one of you deserve a "hug" of thank-you. I don't think we will ever be able to repay you for what you have given us.

I woul also like to say a special thankyou to the Dicks, Kramer, Steenblock, Robbins and Beerbower families. Without your support and comforting words, I am not sure we would have gotten through this extremely hard time. Richard- your words will never be forgotten. Jim would of felt honored. And to the rest of our Braves families- you guys are amazing. We love you all.

Jim loved to come out to the ballfield, nut just to watch Michael play, but to visit and talk to everyone. This was our second home. He liked everyone he met, and you enriched his heart and life. Thank-you, and in the spring, when you see a dove flying above, remember, our angel is wathing over us.

May God bless each and everyone of you for your prayers, hugs and kind words. You are a truly amazing bunch of people, and I fell blessed to know you. Thank-you to our Grandview family. We love you. Jim Miller Family, Melody and Michael.
