This past Sunday I had the honor of attending a memorial service for a long time member of my church. Muriel was 91 when she passed away last Thursday. I can't remember when I first met Muriel, but I have a lot of memories. One of her daughter's was the first person to know that James and I were going to be engaged. We ran into Susie while ring shopping.
Muriel had a granddaughter that lived in San Angelo, where I went to college. Every time I came home from school I would see Muriel, and she would tell me that Valerie was waiting for my call. I never called. On Sunday I heard Valerie's husband, Neil, speak about Muriel (or Gigi as she was known), how much she was really loved by her whole family. I finally introduced myself to them, and I wish that I would have called them way back when.
A few years Muriel moved to Sherman, Texas to be close to another one of her daughters. I hope she knows that she was missed. I hope that she knows that she is missed still.
Muriel, you are still Pretty & Smart in my book.
