My Dearest Miriam: Since I lost you I also lost my beloved Otis. Today, Valentines Day 2023, I don´t feel loss, but a sense of wealth for having been Blessed by our shared experiences. I feel grateful for the gift of knowing you. I am indeed enriched today because of the love we shared then. Rest in Peace, Dear One.

I'm so grateful to Miriam when she shared with me many years ago her knowledge of Louise L. Hay, who wrote many New Thought self-help books. I still use what I've learned till this day and will continue it the rest of my life...thank you Miriam Lawson. ~peace~

I met Miriam at her property, Elm Forest, where I walked her labyrinth and spent countless hours with her. It was the beginning of our priceless sisterhood.

We will continue to pray for your strength and peace. May your beautiful memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.

My gratitude for having Miriam in my life far exceeds my sorrow from losing her. I will be warmed and comforted by memories of her countless expressions of love and kindness she so generously gave me, and so many others in her wide circle of friends and family. Felice, Asha, family and friends - she is gone from our sight, but her love is eternal.
Peace & Love

Although she’ll be missed in this lifeI celebrate her in love and in spirit. My condolences and profound prayers for strength and comfort to Felicia, Asha and to all Miriam’s dear family members and friends...with...

Miriam came into my life as a shining beacon at one of my lowest moments as a young adult. She shared her roof and her family while working during the day and attending law school in the evening. She accomplished much by sharing her inner light with many. Sending long distance hugs and condolences. ~Lynne

I was one of the people that Miriam introduced to Buddhism, and I stuck with it for many years, even though she had moved on. My mother is asked Miriam to be a godmother be to me in the sense of being another woman to guide me in my growing up years. She is was always a listening ear with her own unique perspective. I loved her very much, and there is a picture of her on my wall to remind me of her spirit. RIP

The universe is smiling at a life well lived. Dear Felice and Asha, you keep her light shining in a world that needs the gifted and compassionate spirits that you are.

Avec amour et sincères condoléances
