Pearl Miller, Loved & lived life to the fullest.  Pearla was classy & down to earth. She was a pivot in so many lives as her compassion for others was endless. She truly inspired her daughter Bettina, as she is just like Pearla.  Pearla's physical presence will and has been missed, but Betina keeps essence of her mothers true beauty alive.  Thank you Pearl for having Betina.

Sorry for you loss. Your mom was always so friendly!

Pearl was an amazing woman.  I will cherish the memories playing in your house - Jolie, Dean and Bettina.  I owe all my disco-dancing moves to her.  Deeper still - she lived, as a divorced mom, with clear boundaries for the three of you and a love that I did not understand at the time.  Now - years later - I get her.  May her spirit keep giving to the world through you and your children.  Thanks for the photo gallery - her smile is electric!

She was my person and will be forever in my heart.

To the Miller family I give my most heartfelt condolences. Mrs. Miller was one of my favorite teachers at Kolmar. Take solace in knowing that she touched countless lives and we are better people for it.

So very sad to hear about the passing of Mrs. Miller. My condolences to the family, she will be missed. Kolmar School was very fortunate to have such a woman who was clearly passionate about her job and students such as myself were Blessed to have known her. A definite role model she was.

Mom, I have no idea how this is supposed to get easier one day.I have missed you since Alzheimer's completely took your mind, when I couldn't call you to vent, laugh, ask for $$, ( haha) or ask advice on what I should do about my own health.. No one will ever care for me or Vince like u did. I feel so alone. I will miss u, never stop loving you and honor all your wishes!! Xo

Bettina, I am so sorry for your loss and for the rest of your family's loss as well. Her passing has been felt by everyone who ever knew her. Mrs. Miller was one of my favorite teachers. I will miss her very much. I still have wonderful memories of her to this day and I will for the rest of my life. She really cared for her students and for her family and everyone she came in contact with.

Pearl's presence will be missed by our family.  She was always the life of the party.  We especially loved her great sense of humor which never failed her.  Our sincere condolences go out to the Miller/Waicosky families for this great loss.  Our deepest sympathy and much love,

Bettina, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family and the hope that the kind words of friends and family will make this difficult time a bit easier to bear. Our prayers are with you, always! {The Hill Family... Alsip, Il }

So very sorry to hear the passing of  Mrs. Miller!!  Your students at Kolmar and everyone you came in contact with and impacted their lives love you and will miss you!  Rest in peace!  XO

We will miss her. She gave herself to others in many ways with her always-present smile, silly jokes, gag gifts, random acts of kindness to people less fortunate, not only by giving them a home cooked meal when they needed it but giving them a bit of respite in times of emotional need. Rest in peace, Pearl, you deserve it!
