Muriel was the kindest friend that my mother, Madelene had during the Christ Memorial Days of the 50's and 60's. She was an inspiration to all of us and her example of motherhood was outstanding. I remember her as creative, intelligent and having a sense of humour. I remember one Hallowe'en after all the kids had made their rounds and there was no more candy left, she got into her kitty costume and knocked on the front door of her house....and when Bob answered, he did not recognize her as she insisted he give her a treat that she knew he didn't have! She had a great time afterward telling everyone about the trick she played on dear Bob!! Those were the days.........Marlene, you now have another guardian angel looking after you. Take care.
