It took a bit before I could muster the courage to come to the thread and read the many tributes. Tarheel has a wonderful photo of Carolinamom which, if she can locate it, she will post.
Wife, Tarheel, and myself had the privilege of getting to meet Carolinamom, Miriam, doing the the SnowFlake years of Tony Snow. The first encounter I had was when bill Krystol came to speak at Davidson College. Since we didn't live too far away from each other, we set up a meeting at the talk. It was there that I learned first hand of Miriam's sharp wit and broad knowledge of events. Later, when Tony Snow spoke at Davidson, Tarheel and I met up with Miriam to form a SnowFlake cheering section. When Tony came on stage and recognized us, he gave that broad smile he was famous for and waved. Miriam began cheering so loud, Tony had to give her a hush signal!
After Tony's appearance we went on stage to chat. [You would think Carolinamom had just met Elvis, she was so excited.] Then she and Tarheel went off for lunch together and I tagged along behind Tony to get a couple of photos.
Carolinamom and Tarheel hit it off so well they went on to have a couple of lunch meetings and we joined with her at one of the many Tea Party gatherings we attended.
At least now, Bahbah will have fellow SnowFlake, Carolinamom, to share the meaning of the Tuesday election with. [Love to hear that conversation.]
Prayers up for Carolinamom’s family.
And, prayers up for our friend, Miriam.

Lovely memories of a lovely and gracious woman...
Wonderful post Foxy! You can bet Miriam is meeting Tony up there in Heaven with fellow SnowFlake Bahbah and they’re all looking down upon us here in FReeperville.
Don’t get on the site too often anymore, but just popped in and saw your posting about Carolinamom’s passing. So very sorry to hear this sad news!! Know you were friends, so my sympathy to you as well as her family. You will all be in my thougts and prayers. Peace be with her!
