Joanne and John - I'm truly sorry about the loss of your mom. I had the pleasure of going to the Kennedy Center with her and John to see a play and dinner afterwards. It was a great time. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed.

Dear John and Joanne, I was so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It was very reassuring knowing that our next door neighbor had remained the same loving woman we could count on for decades. My Dad especially appreciated having a friend with whom to recall fond memories of raising their families in Takoma Park. Your Mom and I had several nice conversations when I was visiting my Dad and it was wonderful to see her smiling face just as I'd remembered as a child. She will be greatly missed. God bless you all ~~

Joanne & Johnny! I am so sorry about your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful second Mom and my Mom's best friend. She was a wise woman, and so good to me and our family. I will miss sending and sharing a glass of wine with her! I love you! Liz, Dale and Erin Wilson

John and Joanne-
I am so sorry about your mother. It was a joy to have Miriam as our next door neighbor. She was quick with a smile and loved being outside in her yard talking with neighbors- as long as it wasn't too cold! She could always be counted on for last minute ingredients and the latest sports news. She was a very sweet woman and will be sorely missed.

John and Joanne:
I was so very sorry to learn of your mother's death. During the 9 years we lived at 905 Elm, she was the greatest neighbor to all of us. I remember with great fondness her love of the Washington Redskins, her blue hydrageneas, and her constant watching over the 3 of us, and then the two of us. After Amelia's mom died, Amelia would come home from school and "keep" Miriam company so she wouldn't be lonely whereas in reality, it was the other way around. Your mom was a great person and I am honored to have had her in my life.

I am sorry for your lost. Our loving Heavenly Father collects our tears and remembers them. The scripture at Luke 7:11-15 helps me when Jesus raise a widows son from death. Jesus had in mind the life of the son but also the surviving family.
