My deepest sympathy to the
My deepest sympathy to the family of Miriam Bicking. She gave me piano lessons for 8 years, along with voice lessons for 2 years. She was a wonderful person and great teacher. I play piano and organ for my church, and often think of her when I'm playing, thanking her for all her patience and love. She will be missed, buy I look forward to seeing her again in heaven. She will probably be accompanying the heavenly choirs.

My Deepest Sympathy
What a truly wonderful inspirational person. I did her hair for years until she did not feel comfortable traveling the distance and putting up with the traffic. Not too often in our lives do we meet someone who deeply touches our heart and are with us in thought forever. Mrs. Bicking was one of those people. My condolences to her family.

To my dear friend, Miriam:
I will miss you greatly. We knew each other for so long. You were an inspiration to me and our church for many years. I can remember when your Dad as our minister came to visit me when I had rheumatic fever at 16. He was such a great help to me then. My love and condolences go to the family.
God Bless,

She was such a beautiful lady
She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. I cherish the gift of her teaching me how to play the piano. Music is certainly a blessing to the soul. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

She brought music to Gum Tree and Friendship
I was saddened to read of Mrs. Bicking's passing. I know the last few years have been difficult but she had a long, productive live and was a shining example of a good Christian woman. She was always smiling and pleasant as she taught music to several generations, even those with less than perfect practice habits.
My sincere condolences to the entire Bicking family. May you be comforted in the knowledge that her labors are over and she is at peace.
