Beautifully said Tom❤️

Our office would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of our friend and former colleague Miriam Babin. Miriam was a fixture here for many years as an AJCM and since her retirement a frequent visitor to our court, in her role as an Attorney at Cohen and Cleary. We will miss her friendship and quick wit, that always kept us on our toes.
Rest easy Miriam 🙏🙏
