How shocked and sad I was to hear of Miriam's passing! What joy she spread to me those years ago when Harry and I visited at Dick's and her parents home for a party during my Ole Miss days and later when we briefly lived in the capital city! Her joy and love of people and of life were contagious and I'll think often of her quick smile - just like the one pictured. Dear family and friends you certainly have my deepest sympathy on the passing of a wonderful, enchanting, talented lady.

Miriam painted the happy times of our children's engagements. These canvases bring smiles to many people everyday. She did this for countless families. It is an amazing legacy.

I am so sorry to hear of Miriam's passing. Being friends with her brother and sister-in-law, I had the opportunity to meet Miriam at her home several years ago when she did a painting for the Wideman Piano Competition. She gave my granddaughter an original painting she had done of a girl at the piano. She made us both feel so special. My sympathies to all her family.

Tommy... It's been many years since seeing Miriam's smiling face in the halls of Murrah, and I'm saddened by your loss.

"Tommy, Sam and Baxter - I think my brother Ludwig said it best when he heard the sad news all the way back in South Africa - Peachtree Street, Belhaven, Jackson and Mississippi will never be the same again.... While at Belhaven College and all the years thereafter, I would fondly tell all my friends about my "American Mom" and what she and you meant (and still mean) to me here in the US. On behalf of the entire van Coppenhagen family, please accept my condolences.

Tommy, Alice and I were so sorry to hear that Miriam had gone to the Lord. She always made us feel so special and important to her. When we read the other notes here we found that she made everyone feel that way. What a delightful gift and we will all miss her so.
In greatest sympathy, Hugh and Alice Stevens.

Sam and Baxter - I am sorry to learn about the loss of your mother. I admired and respected your mom and still have many fond memories of our time as next door neighbors during our youth in Oxford. On behalf of my parents and Jonathan, please accept my deepest sympathies.
