Jack and Miriam (Carolinamom) on their wedding day.  They were married in her parents' house in Albemarle, NC. These photos come from her granddaughter Amber, who passed them along in an e-mail this morning:

Thanks to you and Amber for these wonderful photos. They both look so happy. It is comforting to think that they are now together again.

What a lovely pair of photos. Thanks to Amber for offering them and to you for posting them.

Wife, Tarheel, and I have just returned from the viewing for Carolinammom. We got to meet all of her children and most of the grand kids, including Amber. Miriam [Carolinamom] had a big family and with their families in tow it was hard to share more than a few words of sympathy. We did have the opportunity to spend a bit of time with daughter Elaine [and her son, Brian and fiancee, and daughter Kendal]. Elaine is warm and peppy, just like her mom.

However, it was tough to carry on a normal conversation when our friend Miriam was layimg in her casket nearby. It was surrounded by many vases of beautiful flowers and, poignantly, a photo of a younger Miriam and another later one of her with husband “Jack”.

Many of the family were familiar with you, BigSky, and also with Howlin [who had hoped to come but had an illness in her own family that needed her attention]. So, I hope that those who post here will feel better knowing that their comments are being shared with Carolinamom’s family.

We met her so late in life and she has left us too soon. Yet, we are fortunate for having shared at least a little bit of our lives with her.

Rest in peace, Miriam.

A beautiful moment in eternal time. Thank you for sharing. God Bless Carolinamom and her family; and all, as well, who knew and loved her and will so feel, the pain of her leaving. She will be missed here at FR.
