May we express our deepest sympathy in the lost of the loved
one, Lexine Miller.
Lexine was a very nice A-E classmate of mine and a great long-time employee of Krogers in Knoxville, TN.
I talked with her several times about her upcoming retirement and how she planned to spend her time.
Hopefully she did get to enjoy most of it, as time really comes and go fast.
May God bless, comfort, and keep all family members and friends.
Sincerely,
Lillian A West-Collins & Family
My deepest condolences to Lexine’s family and close friends. Before she retired, I saw her over the years whenever I went to Kroger on Kingston Pike. And she was still as friendly as when we were in school. Rest in peace, Lexine!
To The Family,
We knew Lexine for many years from living in the Mechanicsville community and throughout her career with Krogers. She was such a wonderful and caring woman who always had a smile on her face with a warm greeting. There is no doubt, Lexine made a good impression on many who knew her. What a blessing it is for her to retire from this world to go be with our Heavenly Father. Our prayers and condolences are with the family. May God continue to keep his loving arms around the family during and beyond this difficult time.
