I Remember and will remember Miriam forever
She's probably the one of the few nurses I know that had never made a mistake. I enjoyed working with her so many years ago. I think of her once in awhile. And it brings a smile.

Dear Burl and Family,
My husband Bob and I were next door neighbors to Burl and Miriam. They were both inspirations in seeing their love for Jesus and living for Him.
My life is better for having known Miriam. God bless you Burl.

It was through Miriam and Wally that my husband Tom and I met. I was saddened to hear of the accident but rejoice that she is no longer suffering and has received her eternal reward.

Today as I celebrate Miriam's life, I think of her as a women of deep abiding Faith. She was graced with a special communion with God, and trusted in His ever-present mercy. Miriam helped bring healing to many and taught us how to live the Christian life.
I will always hold fond memories of our time together in France and Switzerland. What fun we had in the beautiful Alps, our long chats and just being together.
Burl,what a blessing you have been to her. Thank you for giving her much happiness. She was a wonderful wife, mother, cousin and friend.
May you all feel the love of Jesus at this time.

Burl, Denise and family,
It was my absolute pleasure to help care for Miriam in her final weeks. She was so sweet and a wonderful teacher even in her final days. May God bless her and keep her. Blessings to you and her entire family.

Burl and family, Having been only once with Miriam as a guest in my home means I did not know her well. I have however, through Harriet and e-mail reports followed the struggles she endured these past few months.
God bless and comfort all of you as we remember how she served others in the name of Christ.

Dear Burl and All the Family,
I grew up with Miriam in Bluffton -- as 2nd cousins, neighbors and high school mates. As a young girl Miriam always had a smile for everyone as well as a ready hand to help, but best of all her sweet testimony for Jesus was firm and strong everyday of the week, not just on Sunday! Being the oldest child in her family, she loved and helped her family tirelessly wherever needed. Esther Bicker kept me appraised of Miriam's condition following her accident and i prayed for her everyday to the end. Now she is with Jesus, what a consolation. God be with you all.

Dear Burl and Family,
We have followed Miriam's difficult struggles in prayer since the accident. Though you sorrow, it is not as those who have no hope - she is with her Lord, with all pain gone. He is the God of all comfort. May memories of Miriam bring comforting thoughts to you. John and June Kliewer Henderson, NE
