Miriam leaves behind a legacy of care for others. Her circle of family, friends, neighbors and co-workers were witness to deeds and acts of kindness. She was a nourisher and protector of those in need. She lived a life of service supporting those that were in her circle and unknown souls through her donations to many charities. Her absence will leave an unfillable void in the lives of those who loved her and some who never knew her.
