It is with deep sadness that I share that my dear friend Muriel passed away over night. These last few weeks have been such a blessing because 3 5 weeks ago we thought she was at the end. She surprised all of us with becoming more and more alert and was able to have extended conversations, right up to the end.

I am so fortunate that I was able to visit her daily, and it was always the highlight of my day. I get comfort in knowing that she died the way she wanted - in her own home and  in her sleep,  Her son and daughter-in-law were here just a couple of days ago and I'm so glad they got to spend quality time with her. 

I will miss her terribly.
