Funeral Arrangements for Mr Andrew Miller

by Bellshill Central, posted in Other News, Weekly Church News

It is with sadness that we announce the death of one of our members, Mr Andrew Miller. We add the family, friends, and wider circle of friends to our thoughts and prayers.

From the family:

We are devastated to share the loss of our beloved dad, Andy Miller. We know he was well known and well thought of in Bellshill, from his standing at the school gates every day at Mossend Primary and from being in the Post Office cafe and Coral on the Main Street.
