Dearest Muriel, We in your Wednesday writing group are all heartbroken to lose you. It is too soon for this world to lose you. You were so vibrant and full of love, and so generous to all of us; you helped us develop our own unique voices. And, through all of your teaching and guidance you were also a wonderful friend and a generous and caring human being. You will be missed by so many, but you will live on in our hearts, our work, and our writing.
