Rosemary and Daniel, we are so very sorry. Miryam revealed volumes to you, her parents, during the short time she spent here. In time we hope the appreciation of what she brought into the world will help to assuage the pain of her being taken so soon. As you grieve in your own time and way, we hope you will draw from friends and family the strength and support you need. Our condolences and love, Gail and Robert Steele

So glad we were able to get together finally last week and that you told me the story. Miryam was truly a mystical, amazing being who is probably now an angel. Love to you and Daniel, little family.
