Muriel was my childhood friend. We grew up together. I have lots of fond memories of our time together. In fact, I was maid oh honor at her wedding. I remember the boys well. Her smile, her sense of fun and her constant deep faith remain.

I was blessed to know Muriel.....she shared greatly of herself: her life's joys and struggles. Muriel always had a prayer, a poem, a song to offer. Muriel will be dearly missed but God's grace is that her love and faith remain and continue with son Alan and daughter in law Carolyn ....all the family and friends she touched.
Muriel is perpetually praising God now, praying for us along with the Angel Muriel.

I will miss Muriel deeply. Many conversations about health, good eating habits while also remembering to stop and smell the roses..... but mostly precious time spent sharing stories about the passages in each other's lives.... many hours just laughing about ourselves because in the end "girls just want to have fun." God's one of a kind was sent my way and became my dear friend.
