• I am sitting here in shock and much sadness. I have been texting you and worried that you’re not responding. I would always think of you and how you’re doing. Random texts that we would send each other. The last we spoke was about your foot. I definitely admired your strength and realism. Your texts always made me laugh, and some made me cry. All the years we had in between us but yet we related to each other about many things. You were very welcoming and non judgemental. I can’t believe that you’re gone. You had a big heart even though maybe you sometimes tried to hide that. It was clear. You love Louise so much. You love the girls so much and having those nights with them. Lucy and her socks. Desi and her craziness with the snake. We watched a series of hoarders wondering what the heck. I cried to you about something I was going through and you made sure to ask me if it got sorted out. I just can’t believe this right now. You were funny, smart, caring, and realistic. I’ll never forget you ever. I’ll never forget how you would mention which way the wind was blowing for the day. I never met anyone in my life who did that. Or your game in the morning, the sound of victory when you would go to the next stage. The day the freezer stopped making ice and the annoying beeping sound. Or when you told me about bird and how he would throw his food around. What an honour to meet you. You and Louise. Beautiful beautiful people. And to be welcomed into your home and life. I’m blessed to have met you Miriam. Go fly with owl now. Be free and at peace.

• Louise, I am so sorry to hear of Miriam's passing. What a loss this is for you and your family. Over the years I've bumped into others who have spoken of how Miriam's generosity has made a difference in their lives. I have so many good memories of time spent with you both, whether at the house or at the cottage or out and about in town. It makes me smile when I remember that time she first called me, out of the blue. I will toast her memory tonight. Thinking of you, and wishing you well. - Posted by: Lori McCarville (friend) on: Feb 09, 2022

• Although we lived miles apart, Miriam was always in our minds. The family get togethers were always very enjoyable. She will be deeply missed by our whole family. Nothing is more painful in this world than losing someone you love so dearly. I know it is our last goodbye. But Miriam, you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace! Your memories will never be forgotten! Those will always remain with us forever. Love Ken & Lynda Braun and Family - Posted by: Ken & Lynda Braun (Cousin) on: Feb 08, 2022
