Michiko Boorman

AS a young DJ at WIRE Radio, I met Michiko. She listened to my evening program and painted a picture of a bluejay which she gifted to me. One evening she called me to ask my favorite flower and I said a yellow rose. Before long I had a framed watercolor of the most beautiful yellow rose. Michiko would call my 7-Up Request Line and request Bobby Bare's "500 Miles Away From Home" as it reminded her of her home in Japan. I was so honored to have called her my listener and friend and so sad...

We sure do miss grandma next door..always smiling when we see her out..her kind heart. She loved our son...and he was crazy about her...he drew her pictures and made her things.. we moved next door to Grandma when my son was turning 1 she did not know us from anybody but showed up on our door with a cake and gifts for him. he is now about to be 15

I was very saddened to hear of Michiko's passing. We were great friends at many art events and shows along with her husband Al. I have a watercolor of hers hanging in my studio. I had lost touch with her and am very sorry to find out about her passing. I will miss her humbleness and beautiful artwork.

This saddens me ...such a wonderful person..(grandma next door!!) Few weeks after we moved to the neighborhood..she came baring gifts for my son's 1st birthday...we loved to visit with her ..she loved her yard..(her santuary)..and all animals..my son and his father and myself send prayers,for all ...rest in heaven grandma next door we love you..Tammy

Mrs. Boorman was a sweet lady, she painted a picture of a cardinal for me many years ago & It is still hanging in my hallway. She will be missed at VisionQuest Eyecare by Dr. Terry Null & Staff.
