In 1977, upon the death of the first husband, within a matter of days, a petition was filed with the government to terminate any interest a child may have and any minors would have a court appointed guardian.

Miriam was caring and kind to me. When my mother passed she took it upon herself to do all the kitchen work so that my brothers and I were able to greet mourners. My sincere condolences to my beautiful sister in law Katherine and my brother David.
