Mrs. Miriam, there are few Citadel employees I remember during my time there as a Cadet, but you were one of them. Always a smile on your face, always "motherly" to us annoying Cadets. I am so sorry to hear of your passing, but I trust that you are in the ever-loving arms of our God. My prayers to you and repose of your soul, and my prayers to your family during this time.
