** Note**
I remember my Grandma Miller, but not very well. When I think of her, I
think of her smile. It could light up a room. She was an avid collector of
antiques and other collectibles. A characteristic that she passed on to
her daughter, Neva. Many family heirlooms have been passed down through
the years from Grandma Miller to Grandma Criswell to my Mom, Nancy
Thibodeau and onto myself. Grandma Miller specifically gave me a lamp when
I was a young girl that I have cherished for years. The lamp is a lady who
looks like a Southern Belle. Her white dress is outlined in lace, real
lace. It sits on my nightstand in my bedroom just waiting for my first
Granddaughter to be born. It will be hers, along with the story of where
it came from. Thank you Grandma..
