I am so sorry to hear of Miri's passing. I lost track of her in recent years, but back in the late 90's she helped me get my online dating business off the ground. She gave her time, her expertise and advice and never asked for anything in return. We became quick "online" friends on ICQ/AIM/YIM. I'm better because of her.

Dear Alene, Ron, Solomon and family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter, sister and aunt Miriam. I met Miriam at Carol and Rich's wedding 20 years ago. She was beautiful, kind, intelligent and sincere. We had a delightful conversation regarding her passion for animals and my rescues we both shared. I ran into Alene, Ron, Carol and Rich at my Grandfather Jack's birthday party circa 11 years ago prior to his passing and my husband's from cancer. You are blessed with the wonderful memories you have of your beloved Miriam. My deepest condolences and prayers to Miriam's family.

Sending love, prayers for healing, and whatever else may bring Miri's family some shred of comfort in the wake of her loss. It's strange. I haven't seen her in years, but was thinking of her the other day, about what a vibrant personality she was, and then I heard of her departure last night. I am just so very sorry.

So sorry on your loss of Miriam. We went to HF and had a few classes together. I remember her humor and laughter. She was a unique and special person.

My condolences to Miriam's friends and family. Although, I did not know Miriam well, we were fellow classmates and our paths would cross often. I am saddened to hear of this news. She was a kind soul that I am sure has touched many and has made the world a better place.

This is the saddest news I've ever received. The world is a better place because Miri walked among us. Now that's she's gone, anyone that truly knew her has suffered a terrible loss. She will be in our thoughts forever.

Miri,
The world is less interesting now. The sky is a bit more purple than it was. You brought your friendship into my life and my heart hurts from missing you. I had hoped you would visit NC soon so I could see you. I know you were the best mom to Arthur and all other animals that crossed your life. I love you, My Dear Friend. I'll see you again one day.
To Miri's family,
You have my love and prayers.

Miri... you were strength when I needed it... you were such a shining, bright light out here. You were my friend... and you will live forever in my heart.
My deepest condolences to Miri's family and friends... the world is a little darker than it was.

Oh darling Miri, I pray that you have found peace, joy, and happiness. May you spend eternity surrounded in the love that you so freely gave to others.

Hello, this is Marcus, also a transplant from Chicago now living in San Francisco. Miri was everything I always wanted in a friend. She was first-class thru and thru, and more giving than anyone I ever met. She was a household name; my mother and wife always asked about her, always wanted have her over for supper. I lost a good friend when she followed love, and now we all lost a true beacon.

Deepest condolences to all grieving Miri's untimely departure.
