I shall never forget these precious people when they came to Iva South Carolina to preach revival services at the First Assembly Of God Church where my grandfather Rev, Albert J. Miller was pastor. I remember those services like yesterday. I remember when we prayed together, cried together, and worshipped our Lord together. They rolled up in an old blue LTD Ford pulling an old Shasta Camper trailer behind them. They touched many many lives through their ministry. Yes they shall be greatly missed, but the reward they are now the recipients of is much greater.. Sister Sue and Brother Bill, I look forward to seeing you on that great and eternal day again. I send my love and prayers to this precious family. God bless you all and thank you for sharing these Godly people and their ministry with us!!! Until we meet or meet again may His love be with you both now and forever more.

I loved Sister Ward. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. I am so thankful I got to meet her, hear her preach, sing and play. Heaven certainly gained and angel. I do pray the peace and comfort of God surrounds your family.

Sis. Sue was definitely one of a kind and she’ll be missed greatly! I can still hear her singing and playing “The King Is Coming” in her beautiful voice. I can only dream to play the piano like she did someday. She was definitely one of my favorites! I love you Roscilla and I’m praying for you all!

Billy, Mike, and Roscilla-

My Mother let me know about Aunt Sue, and I was so saddened to hear of her passing. She and Uncle Bill and y'all are such huge parts of our memories growing up, and our hearts reach out to y'all. Aunt Sue is such a special lady in so many ways, and I wish Michi and I could be able to get to Arkansas this week to be with y'all to share memories of her.

Love you and praying with you-

Rodney and Michi
