Falgout was a mentor to many and was loved by all. If you asked anyone, they would tell you that she was the most courageous and amazing woman they knew.
She touched the lives of many around her. Miriam will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was known for her spectacular smile and gracious spirit. She never once met a stranger she didn’t like. Falgout was also known for being selfless and courageous. She never once complained about her circumstances only spoke positive words of wisdom and True Faith.
She had so much faith and, This is her story, this is her song, praising her Savior all the day long. Her witness was one of Power and Hope which helped so many that she crossed paths with, each facing their own trials. They looked at her and said she is amazing and it put a fight in them they didn’t have before knowing her.
Falgout will continue to inspire others by her awesome story. It was hers and hers alone.
She set herself apart from others who were struggling and her driving force was to reach as many of those as she could to help them through their hard times, never focusing on her own.
For those of you who knew her you are a witness to this. And for those who did not, please know she will continue to encourage and enhance lives because her witness will be told for ages to come.
