Cottonwood's Miller Cemetery relies entirely on annual contributions to cover grass mowing expenses, maintenance funding, and improvements that maintain a peaceful final resting place for your loved ones. Contributions are vital and necessary for burial eligibility. In the past, contributions were made in person at the "GraveYard Working Reunion" or by mail. However, with many caring descendants now scattered across the country, attending the annual GraveYard Working Day can be challenging. To facilitate digital transactions, our Miller Cemetery Board Secretary has set up a CashApp account. If you prefer to use CashApp, please send your contribution to Reida McKaskle. For more information on CashApp features, visit https://cash.app/. Alternatively, you can bring your contribution on June 7th or mail it to: Miller Cemetery, 1048 Cottonwood Rd, Leesville, LA 71446.

When your mother dies
It doesn't matter how old you are.
You still feel like an orphan because
You've lost your guiding star.

She's the one you've always turned to
Whenever anything went wrong.
She's the one who cleaned your skinned knees
And chased nightmares away with a song.

She was there to celebrate
All your important days with you,
Like birthdays, and holidays,
And your very first day of school.

It was easy to take her for granted
Because you knew she'd always be there,
Until the day that she wasn't,
And you discovered life truly wasn't fair.

So each Mother's Day take a moment to
Remember the best things about her,
Like her gentle hands and open arms,
And how close the two of you were.

And you can be sure she's in Heaven
Thinking of you on this day above any other.
That's because you are the wonderful reason
That she became a mother.

Have you ever considered how a simple June Saturday morning at the Miller Graveyard Working can be a transformative experience, restoring peace and balance to your life? In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to overlook these precious moments, but it is crucial that we make time for them. We all require a sense of connection to the things that truly matter, including our heritage and sense of belonging. If you need to recharge your spirit and uplift your heart, make plans to attend this year's graveyard working on June 7th at 10am. Please bring your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as they need to develop a sense of belonging and heritage now more than ever.
Feel free to bring a covered dish and join in on an old-fashioned dinner on the ground luncheon, complete with warm greetings and smiles.
