  • 61-year-old Sandra Lee Miller first moved to Chillicothe, MO in 1992 after she met her husband Lee through a Lonely Hearts Club. Leaving behind her close friend Dorothy, with whom she had lived for the previous five years, Sandra moved to live with Lee on his farm 2 miles east up Highway 36.

    After Lee passed away through cancer in March 2006, Dorothy came to live with Sandra in Chillicothe, reuniting the friends once again. Now, having made the decision to sell her home and her possessions, Sandra and Dorothy will be moving to Weston Hill, MO, to be close to Sandra's son due to her poor health.

    The moon rests over the Miller farm, 2 miles east of Chillicothe up highway 36. The farm is currently home to Sandra Lee Miller and her friend Dorothy who moved in following the death of Sandra's husband Harold Lee Miller. Before his death, Lee told Sandra that when he died he would be waiting for her on the other side of the moon.
