As Muriel's neighbor for the last 11 yrs, I will miss her spirit and welcoming smile (and giggle). She always welcomed and loved when I brought my dog Knoki over to visit. She was fun to talk to - and was intelligent and funny; what a role model.

I was deeply saddened to find out that Muriel passed. Although I have not been to Milwaukee in years, I remember fondly my last visit with her. And I always hoped for another. She and John were both kind and gracious to me and I'll always be grateful. Margo and Elliott, both of you are in my thoughts and in my heart.
