I was so fortunate to have known this wonderful women. Muriel and I met 5 years ago and she was just a bright light in my life. Her smile would light of the room when ever I walked in. Muriel had a remarkable way of talking to you and as she did you found yourself telling her your entire life story. I will miss you so very much and your laugh and the way you always greeted me with " there she is my little darling" thank you so much for giving me the gift of friendship.
All my love
Kathy
