Not sure what to say?

The Pleasant Street couples. Miriam made them friends and a community of strength! That's how she rolled-TOGETHER!

Sean and Igget! What an amazing lady! What an amazing Mom! And she was a Mom to us all!

John, your Mom was an incredible lady who not only touched all our lives, but left a lasting impression and difference in all our lives! Just her name, brings memories flooding in, puts a smile on my face, and joy in my heart! (Give me a call) Love, Kelly

I remember lots of great memories and miss Igget (and all of you guys living next door!). I second what Kelly mentioned, about Sean´s passing bringing back a lot of fond childhood memories.

Hi John,
Just wanted to let you know how much your Mom meant to me. I call her one of my 3 moms- Mavis Thompson & MaryLou Dibler. She had a great impact on my life. I was showing pictures and telling stories about her, you, and your dad to my youngest 3. We lost Sean in November and it took me back to childhood and Pleasant Street. Give me a call when you get a chance. 803 413 6906. Love you, Kelly Jensen (Miller-Dibler)

My family and our church are praying for you. I am sorry for your loss. I remember her kindness.

Hi john, Gordy and I were in Florida when we received notice of your mom passing. She was such a special neighbor and one of my best friend's ever. She came with me even to court when I needed someone! Our family knew her as "Igget" because Jason couldn't pronounce Nyquist! She was a major part of our family rather than just neighbor. She was the kindest, funniest, most wonderful caring lady our family ever had the blessing of sharing life with. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Hi John. So sad to hear of Miriam's passing. We loved your mom and enjoyed having her as a neighbor in Gaylord. Heaven has another angel.
Love, Ken and Linda Tatum

Dear John,
Your Mother was an amazing lady! My family was so blessed to have her as a neighbor and friend! I have a million memories of her as well as you and your Dad. Some of my favorites have to do with cooking, dogs, kids, and football! I was so glad that she and Mavis were at my wedding for my Mother's photo! I loved her so very much! Luv Kelly (Miller) Jensen
