I was so saddened to hear about Miriam’s passing. She was such a wonderful person, and I’ll always remember how pleasant and easy she was to talk to.
Whenever I reached out to her to fill a vacancy, she was consistently the definition of professional and kind. I truly appreciated her willingness to step in and help whenever she could; she was one of my favorite people to work with. She will be so incredibly missed by all of us who knew her. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Farewell as you Rest in peace, God’s blessings for a job well done.🙏🏽
