Dear Family, Friends and Colleagues,

Miko had led a full and fascinating life - one that is not fully known to most of her family, friends and colleagues. Her life story is slowly being pieced together through old photos and connections with her different circles of friends.

Please feel free to contribute your memory and photos to this website. There are many photos without a date and identifier. Please help us fill in the blanks. If you prefer, you may also send your comments and photos to mikomemorial@gmail.com and we will post them on this site for you.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Family & Friends of Miko
