Over half this year is gone, there have been a lot of steps since you left. I still start each day with a whisper of I love you and continue to put one foot in front of the other. I search each day for the direction and clues of why I am still here and not with you. I have learned it is not for me t

Always loved this portrait with Kathy

We have always had an attraction to the California Coast. Here on our honeymoon in Carmel, a precious moment with my sweetheart at the waters edge.

I have so much of my Mom Katherine and Grandma Grace in me which is all because of a Mother's Love for their child... Growing up as Katherine's daughter and Grace's grand-daughter, I was showered in Mother's Love that was so potent I feel it so strongly today and share the over-abundance with oth

Kathy loved teaching and working with children. She was especially interested in helping the challenged students.

Kathy loves baseball! The Angels were her team. Her son Michael here enjoy a game. Another great day at the ballpark.

Kathy won a five year battle with breast cancer. Her courage and perseverance helped her through the difficult chemo and radiation therapies. I am so glad for all those new days that we able to have together.

Being a Mom is very time consuming and she was always on the move. Loved this shot of Sharon and her.

The day I met Katherine I knew that she would be the one I would spend the rest of my life with. It was very clear that I had discovered a treasure and would do everything I could to encourage her to join me on a life journey together. We began that journey with a mutual love and respect that prevai

Here Kathy is hosting her girl friends on an afternoon in her favorite chair at the table.

She is my support. She is the one who made me what I am. With her by my side I was able to accomplish things I could never have alone. Two is always better than one!

This was a wonderful trip to Canada and New England in the fall of 2010.

My father-in-law John C. Miller was so proud of his girls. Here Grace, Kathy and Peg posed for a rare together moment on the front steps of the house he built for them in Maywood. I am so grateful to him and Grace for sharing and intrusting their beloved daughter Katherine with me.

Kathy formed a bond with four girl friends that has lasted for more than Six Decades. That is a very special story all it's own.

She would be helping and contributing any where she was needed. She especially liked working with her husband on his projects.

John and Grace had begun their family in Maywood. Their frist daughter Katherine arrived on April 19th, 1942. It was soon after that War would rip this new family apart like so many others in America.

It has been a month now that Kathy passed away and I’m still trying to gather my thoughts. My first thoughts were, Jerry I’m so sorry for what has happened, but to me that was not enough to say. The initial shock of the news was Kathy is no longer with us and will be missed by everyone who had the p

The ship has left the port with Kathy alone. Be safe my darling until we both are home.

One of Kathy's fondest dreams was to visit Alaska. We were finally able to check it off her list in Spring of 2004. Her she is looking at the glaciers from the inside passage.

By 1966 we were off to a good start in this picture with Stephen and Sharon at our new Whittier house.

Katherine could always enjoy a night out. Here with friends at Benihanas we all shared a laugh and the joy of her company.

Kathy's father John was a craftsman with wood. He made this high chair for her. It served our family as well and was used by all of our children .
