So sorry to hear this news so late. Miriam was responsible for my wife and I getting together. Gloria and Miriam were roommates at Bethesda. It has been a long, difficult struggle for you, Roy. May God bless you.

To the entire Gustafson Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of your wife and mother.  So many wonderful memories of growing up near you and all the time I spent at your house playing with one of my favorite childhood friends.  I remember your beautiful mother to be so sweet and kind.  I hope all of your memories of her help see you through this difficult time.

Dear Roy,
Miriam was a very special person and partner in your ministry and in her own volunteering over the years.  Her gracious spirit has blessed many of us.  I am grateful for having known her and wish we could have spent more time together.

I knew Miriam when we both worked at Bethesda even before I joined Beaver Lake Lutheran.  I thank God we had the opportunity to know you both.  Jerry and I convey our deepest sympathies, but rejoice in Miriam's passage to her eternal home.

Pastor Roy, you and your family are in our prayers at this sad time and always.  You, Miriam and the girls were such a very special part of my young adult life at Beaver Lake. You blessed our marriage, we visited you in Michigan with the bell choir, and later I was glad to bump into you in Chisago City while visiting my relatives. You truely are a blessed man Roy, and Miriam brought many happy memories for us all.

Roy,  So sorry to hear of Miriam's death.  It has been a very long goodbye for you.  I attended a caregiver's support group with you years ago and remember your    kindness to me. You have my heartfelt sympathy.
