To Lloyd and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Miriam was truely an example, to everyone who knew her, of what courage and strength are, during the past few years as she battled her illness. You could tell that her strength came from God, who she is with now, perfectly whole. The funeral service was one I will never forget, with such beautiful songs, and the memories given about Miriam. The Hallelujah Chorus sung at the grave, made us feel as close to Heaven as we can get, and the grandchildren sending the white balloons into that clear blue sky, was such a beautiful send off you as a family gave to your wife and mother and grandmother. I will never forget Miriam and the life she lived, making everyone she knew feel loved and cared for. God bless you.
