    Christina and Lisa:
    My heart goes out to you tonight! Your grandmother was such a large part of my life growing up and I spent a lot of my teenage years with Muriel in her early years. I’m so glad I was able to have a lovely visit with her just before I gave up driving. God bless you.

    Your mother placed a great deal of faith and trust in Jody and me at a very young age. This opened to door to many wonderful opportunities for each of us. We became great friends. The world needs more genuinely good people like your mother. May she rest in peace. Fondly remembered.

    It is with sadness that I hear of the passing of Muriel. I knew Muriel through the Gibbons and Campsall families and both Bea and Josie have passed away since then. I know that they would have extended their thoughts and prayers to the family at this sad time. I did visit with Muriel and her Mom several times during that time.
    I also new Muriel through the Order of the Eastern Star, Valley Chapter.
    My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

    Kristine and Lisa, your mom was an inspiration in kindness; she will be deeply missed. I feel this quote describes her best:

    “When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.”
    ~Mary Baker Eddy
