To all members of Miley Grous – I met Miley back in the mid 1970’s and appreciated her wonderful laugh & full personality. I was a member of the Kingdom Hall in Vernon, Ct where I met her and her sister Beverly. I am so deeply sorry for the pain this has brought her family and friends and I pray that Jehovah our God brings you comfort and love at this most difficult time.
Love to all – Kathy Frechette Henthorn, Oak Henthorn and Robert Frechette
