Personal note from Geordie Miller and family of Mary "Dickie" Miller

It's hard to believe 14 months have passed since Mom left this Earth. But my family and I are so pleased to let you know that her memorial bench was just installed at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. If you're ever in the area, please stop by the Moss Garden and take a seat in one of Mom's favorite places to meditate. She'll know you're there. And a very special thanks to all of you who so generously supported the creation of this wonderful memorial.
