To all of Miriam's childrens, I would like for you all to know that my life has been made richer with the friendship of your mother. We go back to the days before the twins were born. To celebrate my birthday, we did not go to "the club" but had a PB&J sandwich at home with a Baby Ruth with a candle in it. What a celebration! She was one true, dear friend. Thank you for sharing her with me. Delcia Aichel Francke

It was my privilege to have worked with Mr. and Mrs. Colledge as parents of two wonderful young men. As a result of their love, parental skills and faith their legency will last for a very long time. My privilege continued into the third generation of this family.
