To dear Jerry, Judy, and Lori and your families,
We have been out of the country and came home a few days ago to learn of Muriel's death. We are stunned and sad for she embraced all the positive things in life and was so vital. When we moved, we lost track a bit so her death is so sad for us. She was "spunky" and enjoyed her life. To all of you , our deepest sympathy and affection.
