Everyone,
Thank you all for your kind
notes about Miriam. It means so much to us.
Several of you have asked for an
address to send a message to Miriam’s family. That would be most welcome. If
you would like to send a note, please contact
me for the address. All of our listserv messages get posted to a website
archive and I didn’t want to end up posting the family’s home address on the
web.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, anyone that
chooses to make a memorial contribution may do so to Georgetown University or
to The Trustees of Reservations, 572 Essex Street, Beverly, MA 01915-1530.
Many thanks,
RD

Everyone,
We sadly send along news this morning that Miriam Keegan,
SITES’ director of public relations, passed away Saturday morning after a long,
valiant fight against cancer.
Many of you had a chance to meet Miriam and work with her on
MoMS projects. She was pure inspiration for the MoMS team – charming, witty,
and full of good humor. We’ll miss her kindness, her grace and her dignity, but
always cherish what she taught us about the value of a positive and hopeful
life.
Miriam is survived by her husband, their three children, her
mother and brother, and a multitude of friends.
Thanks,
The MoMS Team
