"My deepest sympathies to Muriel's family. I got to know her by bringing Holy Communion to her on Sundays a few years back, I had no idea that she had passed or I would have attended her funeral. She was a very religious woman and we would sit and talk about God's importance in our lives. I was able to get her a Crucifix for her apartment ~ and she was so delighted! How I wish I would have gone to see her before this. . . .she was a special woman!"
