my cj


our last saturday we went to laguna beach for a date. it was our first real date together (cute date) we have had in a long time since living in CA.. usually on saturdays my dad has a golf date with cj all set up... i am glad we spent the whole day together. we slept in (our favorite) played some tennis, went for a bike ride and grabbed some lunch and that night we went to laguna and watched the sunset. it was perfect. he always wanted to do things... always on the go. we did always stop and relax when it came to sunsets... we loved our sunsets and this one is just perfect. i have memories of days like this and all of our adventures that remind me of how lucky and in love we were. i just wish it was longer...

i just want people to know that i love my cj with all of my heart and he made me the happiest wife in the whole world. we were so happy. i know i will see my cj again... it will be a long wait but i have him watching over me. i dont know where i would be without my family, friends, and the gospel. thank you all for the support and love... it means so much to me.

he did what he needed to do here... and now it is our turn to live up to that. i love you cj!

We don't know each other but I heard about the tragedy and found your blog and am so sorry for your loss. I can't even come close to imagining what you must be going through. It must be so hard especially since it must seem like your life together had just begun. But like you have said- so grateful we have the gospel and know that you will be able to see your sweet husband again. oh and reading about your last date together was seriously the sweetest thing. I'm so glad that you have such a sweet memory of the last times you were together. Stay Strong. :)

Dear Keri,

I found your blog after visiting Stephanie Nielson's page -- I am heartbroken for you --you truly found your soul-mate while others spend a lifetime looking for theirs --your time together was well spent on earth and will live on ........

Hi Keri...I have been emailing Sam, but had to leave a comment for you too. Devin and I haven't stopped praying for you since we heard from Duane. We love you Miller's so much and can't get you out of our minds. Know that we are praying for you morning and night. xo.

Keri - We don't know each other but my husband, Nat, was mission companions with CJ. He loved him very much. They served together a long time. You and your family have been in my prayers ever since we heard the news. I was so heartbroken for you. You seem to be an amazing, faithful lady. CJ is a lucky man. I met CJ and his mum a couple of times - once at the end of his mission when his Mom came to pick him up and we spent a day in London with them and another time when we visited SLC on vacation. We sang 'Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel' the other week in Church and it reminded me of him.

Keri - I've been meaning to write this for a while. You don't know me but I've been following your blog for a while now because I loved the happy pictures of all the fun things you and CJ did together and I am also a little bit obsessed with California so I loved seeing your pictures of the beach!
I can still remember going through my google reader one evening and seeing the lovely sunset picture and then reading this post and being so completely shocked and confused. I googled CJ's name and found out what had happened and I cried..for you and for what you must be going through...but the reason I wanted to write you this message is to tell you how amazing I think you are and the faith it took to write so beautifully the post you wrote. I didn't sense any bitterness, just love and faith in God's plan. I hope you don't mind but last month I shared your story with the sisters I visit teach as part of the message how we need to trust God and the plan he has for us and that even when bad things happen we know that we have the eternities to look forward to. I also shared it with my mom when I went home last weekend and she shared it with her relief society class in her lesson because we both think you are showing amazing courage and faith in the face of such terrible and heartbreaking adversity. I am praying for you and your family and for brighter days ahead xxx
