My Condolences to the Muse family.
Edith Muse was my customer for 20 + years at Webster Bank. Edith was one of my special customers that waited for me to assist her.
When I had my surgery on my knee, she took the time to visit me at my home. I'll never forget that.
RIP Edith, I will see you when it's my time.
Love Terri!
