Muriel had a devotion to the Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord. She was often asked by her family to light a candle in front of her statue of Mary for a special request. Muriel loved the ocean she once told her daughters “That when the waves came crashing into the shore and return to the open sea was like a cleansing of your soul”.
