Dear family,
What a wonderful woman, my Aunt Muriel was. She has left me and us with many childhood memories that I will cherish. I remember going for rides in Uncle Als cars and staying at your house being spoiled with toys and love. I beleive the last time I saw Aunt Muriel was when she, Uncle Al and Aunt Marlene and Uncle Norman were passing thru Florida and they stopped in for lunch and a trip to the Beach. I have a wonderful picture of her at the Ocean. We can take comfort in knowing she is with my dad , your brother, your uncle in a better place with no suffering. Love to all of you.

So sorry for your lose. I'm so glad now that when my father was in town about 18 months ago we went to visit her. When my fateher a I got there she was down listening to music. She had a big smile on her face as she was coming down the hall. We had a really nice visit ,she was having a good day. Than Uncle Alvin you showed up with something she really liked to eat.It made her happy. It was great to she how much you really loved her. We'll miss her...

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. May your memories bring you comfort. I had the opportunity to work with Muriel back in the 80's. She was a special person.

I remember when I was a "little" boy and I would come over to visit my Uncle Al and Aunt Muriel. She would always take care of me and make sure I would have lots of food and fun on my 1-2 day visits. Later on in life, when I was a teenager, I used to stop in and see her working at the Andersons restaurant across the street from my High School in Williamsville. Thanks for the memories and ice cream Aunt Muriel, God Bless

I remember so many good times with Al and Muriel when she was well. Their visit to California was special and she always made us feel so welcome during our visits to Buffalo. She always told me that she was glad I was part of the family and that always made me feel so good. I remember one visit where we all went to Glen Park and the Williamsville Water Mill looking for apple cider. No matter where we went we would almost always end up having ice cream somewhere. I miss that Muriel. She was a sweetheart. I loved her and I know that Jim did, too.
My love and condolences to everyone.

Dear Uncle Al, Deb, Joe, Di and Steve, It's very hard to lose a loved one....and no words can ever take the pain away. I'll always remember Aunt Murial for her beautiful smile...oh, and for asking us kids if we would like a Friendly Fribble. Or was it a Friendly Coke? Something like that. She will never be forgotten. Love, Peg
