Miles had such an abundance of kindness, creativity, and humor that everyone could see. I remember running into a classmate from high school, who wound up going to college in Buffalo, when he was back home for the holidays. He asked me if I was related to a classmate of his in the art program he was in, named Miles. I said that he was my cousin and we both gushed about how great he was and how much we enjoyed being around him.

I remember when he started making videos with his camera for his "wacky1pro" productions and being so impressed with what he was able to come up with. On top of that, he could draw, write, and play music; he really could do it all. I still have the custom lego figure he gave to us groomsmen on display at home and it is even more special to me now.

Love you, Miles.

My 16th birthday

I had a few friends and my family over to celebrate my 16th birthday. I received not a physical gift but one I can always cherish

Miles and TJ Wrote a song for me...for me!! How lucky am I to have a friend write such a silly meaningful song. A song that I know took time and such creativity. I cried and laughed listening to it for the first time. Still do so many times after.

2019

Many many years later, Miles rewrote the song to me for my 30th birthday. I have both songs saved and will forever be on my computers Playlist.

Miles- although you couldn't keep your promise that we would be friends til we were 83, as you wrote in the song, but at least I know, by God's amazing grace And love, I will see you again. Heck, maybe even when I'm 83.
