Renee Roissier Miller

June started with a trip to Ocean City, the town where I grew up and began my life with Renee. The beach town will always hold a special place for me, I remember my youth fondly and am thrilled see the next generation enjoy the area as much as I did. Overall the trip was [...]

Jackie Miller (Greenback ‘09) will be joining the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders for the 2010-2011 season as the first wrestler to earn a wrestling scholarship at the school since 1979. The scholarship will be provided via the MTSU Wrestling Scholarship Foundation, which is in the process of legal recognition and started by Head [...]

I hope for all reading this that Mother’s day was a truly enjoyable event for you. I hope that it was a time to acknowledge and hopefully spend time with a mother that you both love and respect. Those of us of an age where our Mothers have lived a full life span and are [...]

Today, for the umpteenth time, I got to watch one of our kid’s heart break. It is always a gut-wrenching, emotionally draining experience and this one was worse than most. The last couple of weeks for several of the kids it has been obvious that time has not yet begun to heal their wounds. [...]

I wrote earlier in the month on the eve of the first anniversary nobody wants to remember but one that no one in my circle of family and friends will ever forget. First I wrote about it then I lived it. Here’s how it went. I had talked to the older children about getting together [...]

Well, it’s now been a year since my world fell apart.  365 days to get used to the fact that Renee is gone and she’s never coming back. The times when I am either awakened or jarred out of a solitary daze by some guttural, almost inhuman sounds, and then realizing the source of those [...]

Miller, Dailey fall short of title in state wrestling championship
Two Greenback wrestlers were on the brink of a state championship Saturday afternoon, but both came up just short. Tyler Dailey and Jeremy Miller competed in the 2010 United States Marine Corps Wrestling Championships held at the Williamson Co. Expo Center in Franklin, but neither was [...]

It’s been almost a year since Renee was killed, how are you and the kids doing ?

This is by far the easiest question to ask, it is also the one I hear the most, and it is the hardest to answer honestly.  Most times I simply say, ” I’m doing OK ” particularly if the [...]
