Mirna, quien residía en South Hadley, Massachusetts, era una grabadora jubilada de una fabricante de trofeos. Pudo canalizar su talento artístico en su trabajo y en sus pasatiempos de hacer joyería y bailar. Sin embargo, su verdadera obra maestra era su familia; dedicó su vida a ellos y encontró alegría en organizar fotografías de sus seres queridos, capturando hermosos momentos que serán atesorados. Como dice Mateo 5:16, "Dejen que su luz brille delante de otros, para que vean sus buenas obras y glorifiquen a su Padre en el cielo". De hecho, la luz de Mirna nunca se apagó y sirvió como reflejo del amor de Dios en todo lo que hizo.
