May the positive experiences you gained through the travels you undertook in your short life stay with you, and may the obstacles you faced fall away and no longer burden you.

Dan, my deepest sympathy to you, David and Bobby, and the rest of your family. My heart breaks for your loss.

Dan, I am very sorry for the loss you and your family are experiencing.

I only met Miriam once, but it was not a forgettable experience. She was full of life and character all her own. To Ari and Etan- we were only ever distantly acquainted, but being the younger sibling of someone who has struggled with addiction for years, my heart goes out to you guys. Not only is it something nobody should ever go through themselves, but it's something nobody should ever have to watch a loved one go through. My thoughts are with you and your family- I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bobbi David a d family. We were shocked to hear the news of Miris passing You are in our prayers and we wish to send our heartfelt sympathy to all of you Elsa and Peter Gassner

Jen, Dan, Bobbi and David,
My heartfelt condolences to you and all of Miriam's family at this profoundly sad time. I wish you peace.
With love and admiration,
Elaine

My deepest condolences to the entire Klau family. I did not know Miri, but she sounds like a gifted and extraordinary young woman with many challenges. This is a tragic loss and I wish you solace and comfort at this difficult time. Jodi

Dear Jen and Dan, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I recall Miriam's radiant beauty from the very start of her life; a truly extraordinary individual. My deepest sympathies to you both, Ari, Etan and your entire family. love, Laura

My deepest condolences to your family. I was touched by your loving tribute.

Dan, Dr. Klau, and family: My deepest condolences on the passing of your daughter. Though I did not know Miriam, her obituary touched my heart -- and, knowing Dan's musical talent and humor, the descripition of her artistic flair and passion makes me think that her apple did not fall far from the tree. As the Welsh saying goes, for every wound the ointment of time. May your memories and love remain as your pain slowly eases. Dan Krisch

Dear David and Bobby and Miri's entire family,
We pray for strength for all of you to deal with this terrible sadness and hope that someday the good memories will overtake the sad. This beautiful young woman had so much to give to the world and the world was cheated of her beauty and talents and loving personality by illness and addiction that plagues so many in todays world. Our prayers are with you.
Lydia and Alan

To Dan and family: You have been brave and inspiring by sharing Miri's struggles and challenges. The many communities to which you belong now stand with you with prayer, sympathy, admiration, and hope.

I did not know Miri but am touched by your honest and loving description of her short life. Your heartbreak is clear and I share in your burden. I am sorry that her journey was so troubled and that you suffer her loss. You are in my heart.
John Tenny, friend of Grace Rubin

Dear Dan...
I was so sad to learn of the death of your daughter Miriam. I recall our conversations about her; her spirit and your concern about her struggles. My deepest condolences.

Jeff

I remember Miriam well! She was a compassionate, friendly, witty, and intelligent student of mine at Hall High school. Miriam was beautiful in the way she looked at life, and even as a young teen, she made a positive impression on those around her. My sincere sympathies to all of Miriam's family. My prayers and healing thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Goerner

My deepest condolences to you and your family. She sounded like an amazing woman and the disease she fought so bravely is so horrible. It affects so many and robs us all of some of the best, warmest and most talented people on the planet. I wish you comfort and peace.

Dear Bobbie and Dave,

Dave and Linda Fishman

Dear Bobbi and David and Jennifer and Danny and family. We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Reba and Art

Dear Doctor and Judge Klau,
I wish I could start this by saying there's no possible way that I could know how you feel, however I do, because I lost my daughter two years ago to the same disease.
And of course Your Honor probably knows that I've struggled with my own addiction to alcohol for years. I've been sober for 11 years now. I am very fortunate to have the love of family, friends, and of course AA.
Some like myself are lucky to survive some like our children are not. No matter how many times you try to help or how many things you tried to do, sometimes it's just not enough. And please, if you struggle with any guilt at all, let that go because this is not your fault. I'm just getting to the point of realizing that regarding my child.
I will have caring thoughts for both of you, and if you need to talk, you know how to find me.

Dear Klaus, My heart goes out to all of you. While I never had the pleasure of knowing Miri, I am honored to know her wonderful dad, her (paternal) aunts and uncles, and her grandparents. I can tell from her lovingly crafted obituary how Miri was the beneficiary
of much talent, passion, and love that was obviously transmitted to her. Her beautiful essence shines through in your words, and I am touched also by the strength and courage in acknowledging (rather than avoiding or sugar-coating) the reality of your own painful journey with her. What a gift your full humanness was to Miri and will continue to be to everyone you encounter. When we lost my niece a few years ago under similar circumstances, I remembered my grandmother's expression, "Mensch tracht and Gut lacht." (Man plans and God laughs) As you struggle through the incomprehensibility and injustice of it all, may you be comforted by sweet memories of Miri and by the love and support of the many people whose lives you have touched,
including me. Love, Steve

My heart is aching for you.
Wishing you much strength during this difficult time.

Barbara and David,
Our deepest condolences for your loss. May her memory be for a blessing.
Howard and Ruth Sovronsky

My heart breaks for you and yours especially since we have lived through a daughter with a heroin addiction. Losing a child is the loneliest, most desolate journey a parent can take, we are with you in this heart wrenching times.
I have such fond memories of Miriam, I always saw a beautiful human in her, one with depth and sincerity. I remember when her class took on a daily project of drawing character pictures of me in cartoon form, example laughy taffy jaffee, or any absurd thing especially about my love of coffee. Miraim was a key player and submitted many pictures to the collection. She was a free spirit and her inner beauty shone out to all who took the time to see. I know that Miraim was in my daughter Peninah's class and they had just spoken a little while ago.
I personally know that it is easy to blame "us" however, I say don't as it benefits no one especially since I have heard over the years about your families efforts and dedication to help Miriam.
Our heart and souls are with you, she was a sweetie and pure soul.
please reach out if you can.
Where are you sitting Shiva?

The photo of your beautiful daughter prompted me to read her obituary today. Her story hit me hard. My heart hurts just thinking about the pain you and your family must be enduring right now. I applaud you for sharing the very difficult journey you have been through with her.... and bringing to light the plight of addiction.
I feel both your anguish and your love for her.......it certainly isn’t the path most parents would ever even imagine for a child. While your dear Miri is now at peace.....I will pray for you and your family.
Kitty

I am so sorry to hear of Miriam's passing. I remember her fondly when from when she was in my Physics Class at Hall High School.

Dear Jennifer, Daniel, Ari and Etan,

I want to extend my deepest condolences on the passing of your beautiful daughter and sister. I remember Miriam as a beautiful, inquisitive, brilliant little girl. I used to be a teacher assistant at The Hebrew Academy when Miriam was in Mrs. Mishkin's class. I have such fond memories of your girl and I cannot imagine your pain. How lucky she was to have you all for the love and support you gave her. My daughters Sarah and Jennie also knew Miriam and I am passing on their condolences as well. With love, Carrie
