    To Muriel’s family,
    The memories that I have of Muriel include Emily Goyer, Marion Jones and Dolly Hodgins. I would greet all of them at Greg’s Place on a Sunday morning after church. We would laugh together and I would be asked to give “holy hugs” to each of them. It was a pleasure to know Muriel and to be the recipient of many of her beautiful smiles.
    You are in my prayers at this time. May she go on living in you all.

    Blessings,
    Rev. Sue McCullough+
