    Thank you for the uplifting prayers, thoughts, and shared memories. She is/was a wonderful Mother who smiled and laughed and loved us. She taught us to believe in God, to be courageous, work hard, love each other, and live well. She passed from complications of scleroderma.

    So sorry for your loss...Miriam was the sweetest patient to take care of. I work for IU HEALTH Home Care and enjoyed my visits with her. She never complained when she was sick. Will miss her lots! Love and prayers to the family....

    Miriam will be missed, I remember how much she enjoyed her flowers and garden, and how many happy hours our daughter Katy spent with Miriam, Harry, and Mrs. Reynolds playing at their house. Many desserts were enjoyed there. She was a wonderful neighbor, mother and grandmother with many talents. Her patience and love of children were a gift to us all. We are so sorry for your loss.

    It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. ----------------------------------------------------------------- We keep all the family in our prayers during this time of your Aunt M's passing.

    Miriam was such a sweet, kind, and beautiful lady. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face even when she wasn't feeling well. She was just so kind to everyone no matter the circumstances. I took care of her at IU Health Bedford Hospital several times and not once did she complain during the time I cared for her. She will be missed by all of the staff here at the hospital but we are glad to see that she will not be suffering any longer and that she is in Heaven. Such a sweet lady!
