Midwife Lindsey Meehleis has posted a poignant photograph of Bode's Miller's late daughter Emeline 'Emmy' Miller.
The close family friend posted the Instagram pic and message as she reflected on the tragic toddler's funeral after the 19-month-old drowned a year ago.
In the post Meehleis recounts some of the moving eulogy from the funeral where a photo of a smiling Emmy is on display.
It was posted with the family's permission as the midwife used it also as a platform for better water safety around children.
Bode and Morgan Miller's daughter Emeline 'Emmy' Miller died after drowning in a neighbor's pool on June 10, 2018.
The Midwife recounted some of the words said at the toddler's funeral and re-counted her birth after she arrived three months early.
She said: "The strength that Morgan found that night was Emmy's first gift.
"For Emmy knew that her time here would be short, and she knew that in order for her parents to survive her loss, that the strength that they found that night wasn't optional, it was necessary.
"The moon moved across the horizon in the cool night sky, Morgan and Emmy danced together as this earthly angel began her journey here to change the world."
Olympic skier Miller and his wife were left devastated by their daughter's drowning.
