Obituary
Monika ? Oma? Miller
In 1947 Monika began life in Germany and came to Canada as a small child in the early fifties with her parents and older brother, Dieter.
She raised two children of her own, Shawn and Corrina, with all of the love a Mother could give. After the children left home Monika moved to Toronto where she was a very successful award winning sales and marketing manager.
In 1995 Monika married Chuck Miller and moved to Dana Point, California. Although she attended church it was not until she married Chuck and began attending South Coast Christian Assembly that she became a born again believer. She also became the step mother to Chuck’s three daughters treating them with as much love as her own children.
As the years rolled by Monika’s love for the Lord and her Church family grew. Wanting and willing to serve, Monika was always helping with the church fellowships, Women’s ministry as well as Greeter’s and Sunday school teachers.
Monika loved her church family, especially the Women’s ministry. They taught her how to study God’s word which she loved. Monika loved the work of Women’s ministry and developed many close and wonderful friends.
In 1996 Monika became a grandmother for the first time. The grand babies, all nine of them called her ?Oma? a European word for Grandmother. Monika loved her children and their babies. She, like Job, prayed for each of them everyday. Her love for all of them knew no bounds.
Monika? s life reflected the love of God and even her disease could not stop her desire to see all of her family in church serving her God. Corrina’s wedding was the thrill of her life when all of her blended family was together for the first time.
Monika favorite saying was ? a faith that can not be tested could not be trusted?…
Monika passed the test.

Dear Chuck and Family,
In times of sorrow, finding the words to express one’s feelings are very difficult. I am truly saddened by Monika’s passing, your loss Chuck, and those of your family. My prayers are with you all.

We loved Monika soooo much and miss her greatly. We take great comfort in knowing she is with our fabulous Lord. We love Chuck and daily pray for his needs. Monika gave so much to Gods work. She was a giver like Chuck. God is so blessed to have her. She is missed already. Our love and condolences to Chuck are great.

I would like to offer Chuck and his family my deepest regrets for their physical loss. I would also like to offer my sincere congratulations on their spiritual gain. I always tell my own children that God needs and uses all kind of angels, and we must trust him in his decisions to “come home.” Who of us ever wanted to stop playing when our mothers called us in from playing with our friends. I don’t ever recall saying, “You know Mom, I was just thinking it IS time for me to come home from Jimmy’s house.” However, our loss is Heaven’s gain. I say ‘our’ because anyone involved in the Lord’s work here on Earth is part of the family of believers in Christ Jesus. And even though I never knew Monika, it is always with mixed emotions that we send one of our Christian warriors home to the right hand of the Father.
God is good, and his mercy endures forever.
