Celebrating the Life of Christine Miller

Event Date: 
Repeats every day until Fri Jan 18 2019 .
January 18, 2019 - 11:00am

My name is Christine Renee Miller and I passed away in Carson City this last Wednesday, January 9, at 9:02 p.m.

I was born in Reno on May 16, 1979 and placed in the arms of an angel. I grew up with the love of a wonderful family in Carson City and departed with their blessing.

I went to school at Carson High and graduated in 1997 with good memories and even better friends. I brought two beautiful daughters into this world and passed away with them by my side.

I was lucky enough to meet my darling grandson, Aiyden Davis, and hold him in my arms before I moved on. Be strong little one, you have an amazing future ahead of you.

Although my life was cut short, it was worth every precious moment. I had enough time to fall in love, be a mother and grandmother, smile at the sight of a butterfly and watch my children grow into beautiful women.

I was diagnosed with MS in the prime of my life and lived long enough to watch my daughters begin theirs. Some would say my death was a tragedy, but to me it was a cure to my fate.

I pass with no regrets and send eternal love to my angel mother Gail Jackson, my dad Bruce Jackson, my brothers David Miller and Brandon Jackson, my sister Erin Jackson and my nephew Rylan Miller. I thank you all for your love and support.

To my daughters Alexia and Kiyah Davis, never forget that I love you. Life is filled with hard times and good times. Learn from every experience and be the women I know you can be. Don’t mourn for me because I am by your side every step of the way.

We will be celebrating my life at Walton’s Funeral Home, Carson City, on January 18 at 11 a.m. Please join us and say hello to all my friends and family.

Although I love flowers, I would ask that you consider donating to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society on my behalf. Special thank you to Walton’s for everything they have done for us throughout this tough time.
