Seth was born October 21, 1994, in Flora, Illinois. His parents are Thomas M. and Teresa G. (Enochs) Miller of Keensburg, Illinois. Seth was a true gift to everyone who knew him. He was kind, loving, compassionate and accepting. Seth was a light in the darkness. His life had limitations as a circumstance of his infirmities, but his influence on the world around him was extraordinary. The lessons that he taught are engraved on the hearts of all those who were fortunate to see and acknowledge his worth. Our lives are poorer in the absence, but we are made richer by having him in our family and in our memories.
