    I am so sorry for your loss. Miriam was a pleasant sole. She was kind and gracious. I loved working with during our time at Bank Of America. My sincere condolences. I lost my mother 12 years ago and can only say she will be with you all the time.

    Miriam will be so missed! I learned to love and admire her when we taught Sunday School together during my first year at St. Martin's. She was a wonderful teacher and person.
    Prayers to the Searcy family.

    We were saddened to learn of Miriam's death in the newspaper this morning. We certainly enjoyed getting to know Miriam and Jeff at St. Martin's when they were members there. May Miriam rest in peace.

    For all those sharing a memory of Miriam, I feel sorrow. An old Mutual Savings and Loan employee, we knew each other for many years and had get togethers several times over the last 30 years. I had no idea that cancer (?) had taken her life. We had such a close bond as employees of Mutual, it was so different from many jobs in todays environment. Wishing great memories of such a sweet person.
