Sorry to hear the passing of Muriel. My condolences to the whole family. Your mom always had a smile for everyone. She was genuinely happy to see you and everyone was always welcome in her house. She was blessed and a good person. That's why God kept her around for such a long time. We won't be home for the funeral, but I'll be in touch when I get home. Hugs to you all! - Posted by: Roberta and Roger Carriere (Friend) on: Mar 30, 2013
