goodbye to a good friend
Monday, August 14th, 2006i found out yesterday that our good friend and one of my favorite professors died on saturday. Ann Miller, long-time Baylor English prof and good friend to my family and me, died after a long battle with cancer. here’s the article from the waco trib:
Friends mourn ‘the best of old Baylor’
she was a great lady who, even in the painful times, always had good things to say. she always greeted us with a hug and complimented how pretty dana is. she loved meeting hannah for the first time. my most recent favorite memory of her is finding her in HEB looking for liquid soap. she was unscrewing all the lids to find the smell she liked best. she always said goodbye saying that she loved me and all my family.
she fought hard, but i’m sure she’s happier now. we’ll miss her, her poetry and her gusto for life. she definitely left this place better than she found it.
