Aunt Muriel I will always treasure the visits I made with mom and dad to visit. She always made me feel welcomed! I will never forget her asking what my favorite sport was! She never even batted an eye when I said the Dallas Cowboys! She just smiled and then wanted to know what their logo was. To my surprise she made the most awesome woven chair. She even designed a football helmet with the star. It is a real treasure BUT now even more! I loved to look at all her crafts. We may not have seen each other the last years but I was always thrilled to send and receive her Christmas card. I will miss that! I�m glad she was my aunt and she will always hold a special place in my heart. Your Niece Catherine Brighton
