Patty,
Your mother was a very special woman. She was the first person to introduce herself to me when I joined the choir at Rosemont. I will never forget her saying "Muriel just like the cigar". She was my alto singing partner for years. If someone would sit down next to her she would make them move and say "that's Pam's chair" ! I loved her dearly and she spoke of you often and would always tell me when you were going to be at church with her.She was always chipper and I'm sure she has brightened the choir in heaven. So sorry I could not make the visitation or funeral.

My sincere condolences to the family for your loss. May Job 33:25 comfort you to know that when Muriel awakens from sleep, she will live each day to the full with youthful vigor. May you continue to find needed comfort from God's Word and each other.

Muriel and I enjoyed many lunch times together while working together at American Mutual many years ago. She was such a warm and friendly person.

Muriel was my favorite 'Pink Lady' at Central Baptist Hospital. She always had a smile and it was infectious. She enjoyed greeting and helping direct patients to where they needed to go for their own care or to visit loved ones. She checked the hospital census daily and visited with people in their rooms. She went out of her way to walk patients around, even when she had trouble getting around. Yet her mind was quick, her attitude spunky and her faith was strong. She didn't show her age...and it was actually surprising when she mentioned it. For the past years she sat at a booth just outside my office so I had the good fortune to visit with her often. This was at the end of of a long windy hallway. She enjoyed and appreciated my bringing her a cup of coffee from the doctor's lounge 'to warm her up'. She had a great sense of humor. She once told my wife Dee, back when we were dating, 'if I were 40 years younger...you'd better watch out!'. Her body just couldn't keep with her spirit and mind. We both loved Muriel and know that she touched a lot of lives and had many friends. She will be missed!

Muriel was my favorite 'Pink Lady' volunteer at Central Baptist Hospital. She was spunky and had a quick wit. Her smile was contagious. Though starting to slow down at 90, she was always helping others find their way around the hospital and even visited patients in their room. Her caring and loving attitude was evident. She always had a positive attitude. She sat at the information booth at the end of a windy hallway right outside my office, so I had the good fortune to visit with her often. She enjoyed it when i would bring her a cup of coffee to warm her up. She was so sweet...in appreciation, she once told my fiancee 'If I were 40 years youger you'ld better watch out.' Her spirit was much younger than that. Too bad her body couldn't keep up. She had many friends...I know she will be missed by may!
