I was so lost and torn up by not being able to come to the service and then I found out you were offering a zoom! Thank you all so much for that! What a blessing! One of my favorite memories has to be family reunions! We always had to find a huge place and this was still before aunt Mariam. and uncle Verls grandkids and great grandkids. This was Grandma and Grandpa McInelly crew lol! I loved hearing your talks and songs! Seeing you all tells me I need to come to visit. I always adored your mom! And I don't remember ever seeing here mad. She was always happy when we were there! We lost a beautiful angel, and Heaven to one home! I miss and love all of you and more so knowing my was never going to get a hug or advice from Aunt Mariam I love you all and you are always in my prayers, sending comfort from my heart and soul

Miriam had a huge heart. She adopted me into this beautiful family. Whats one more she would say. She opened me with open arms. And I know Im not the only one she adopted. She even made up adoption papers and framed them and presented them to me. Your family knows how to play hard and have fun. I have always looked up to your family and felt a part. For those I got to know well your awesome. We will miss Miriam and her strong fight and her guidance. I miss making her pretty. She left behind wonderful memories for us all. She was one fine lady that I dearly love. Till we meet again.p.s. thank you Jeanette for being able to say goodbye to her. All my love and prayers to the family as you mourn the loss of a super lady.
