§ Don and I had the privildege of attending the services for Tommie yesterday. I thought you might find comfort in knowing that she had many, many friends and family who were able to attend. Her daughter and son were among those to pay respect. The service was traditional Jewish and I know Tommie would be pleased. The Rabbi must have known her quite well as he included in his remarks many of the character traits that we have all witnessed and enjoyed.

§ February 19, 2007 Tommie was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. A survivor of the Holocaust, she kept our memories fresh on what can happen, if we are willing to listen to those who experienced these horrible
events. We will miss her positive attitude about life in general, in spite of the hardships she suffered
in the past.

§ Dear friends and members,

Our beloved Tommie Miller passed away this morning losing her battle with cancer. Her husband Gary, told me the funeral will be Sunday at 2:30 at Crestlawn in NW Atlanta. For further information about the arrangements, or directions to the services, he gave me the number of the funeral director which is 770-54-4999.

I expressed our deepest sympathy to Gary and told him we would miss her greatly. He said he would miss her, too.

With regret, I leave you with this message
