I remember very fondly visiting Aunt Miriam and Grandmom and Grandpop Phillips in Rainbow Lakes. And, visiting Aunt Miriam at her apartment, with her kitty, Maggie. I always thought a lot of her. The last time I got to see her was at our family reunion in 2019. I´m very glad I did. She looks so much like Grandmom. Rest in peace, Aunt Miriam. You will be missed very much. Love, Judy Ann Phillips Hyder.
