My greatest condolences to the family and friends of Muriel. I will miss her immensely.
She and I had a special connection. We only had to look at each other and know what the other was thinking. I will always miss being able to look at her and roll my eyes with her and laugh. Thank you Muriel for your love and support.

Muriel was a delight. I once offered Muriel a ride home from a party at 9pm. She told me it was too early to go home. Keep in mind that I was 3 decades younger. She brought color to life. My kindest regards to her family & friends.
