To all my children and friends – Remember me with a smile today, I wasn’t one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years. Recall my laugh, the way I spoke. The funny things I did. My strength, my love, the way I joked. My eyes that shone with love and fun, so much of me that never died, I left for everyone. -- Muriel.
