Murray and Jean worked side by side at the family business Millar's General Store. They worked well together, not just in the store but in the community, their church, in their marriage and as parents. Thanks for setting the bar high and being great examples for us.
Jean’s faith, her family and the community of Fiske were very important to her. When dad battled cancer, it was decided that they must make the move to Rosetown. It wasn't a decision they made lightly, Mom had big tears at the thought of leaving the people that supported them for many years.
