    To the family,
    I worked with Miriam at Kmart for all of her 17 yrs. We generally worked the same shifts and often went to lunch/dinner together. I really enjoyed the company of your Mom. She was so vibrant and a joy to know. I am so sorry for your loss but am glad I have the memories of her and so many that worked there.
